WINNER: Use of a Total Digital Surgery Tool to Improve Prehabilitation of Patients and Increase Effectiveness of Surgery Pathways Within Hospitals: Definition Health and Royal Surrey Foundation Trust

Working in partnership with the Royal Surrey Foundation Trust, the winners have delivered an end-to-end digital surgical pathway that supports patients from the moment they are referred for surgery, through pre-op assessment and then into the post-discharge phase when they have returned home. Apps refocus the surgical pathway around the patient to deliver continuity of care and avoid unnecessary appointments and cancellations. This end-to-end approach results in better patient outcomes, cost savings, increased efficiency, and hospital capacity. The judges felt that this project demonstrated real innovation and transformation. “The team were so passionate to improve patient pathways, experience and outcomes.”
