NHS organisations spend millions on IT projects in a bid to improve services and boost productivity. This is likely to increase in the coming years as more patients are cared for in out-of-hospital environments and swift access to information becomes even more important to both clinicians and managers.
But that spend may not produce the results trusts want unless organisations are clear on the digital experience they are looking to achieve for their staff and patients. This HSJ webinar, in association with Lenovo and Intel, will focus on the challenges organisations face.
- What do we mean when we talk about “value” in relation to IT and how does that differ from just cost?
- How important is it to think about the IT infrastructure to enable organisations to get the best value out of the money they are spending on software?
- With more patients receiving care away from the hospital and some staff working from home, what does this mean for organisations’ investments in IT? What factors will they need to take into account when purchasing equipment and what does this mean for the trust’s estate and staff?
- As the demands on the NHS and its constituent organisations change, how can IT strategies evolve in an uncertain landscape, to constantly be delivering value to clinicians and patients?
