The health and social care sectors are on a mandated digital journey. Transforming ways of working and ensuring robust, secure connectivity are key pillars of the UK Government’s policy for delivering frontline services efficiently and cost-effectively.
Vodafone in Health and eConsult Health have joined forces to help reduce patient waiting times and enhance patient safety across NHS Emergency Departments and Urgent Treatment Centres. eConsult’s digital triage solution was designed to automatically check-in and prioritise patients upon arrival based on clinical need, speeding up the streaming process, identifying sick patients earlier, reducing the waiting time and time to treatment.
Underpinning this is Vodafone’s secure digital infrastructure, enabling healthcare providers to accelerate adoption of the digital platform and ensure adaptability to scale based on patient demand.
Uniting our capabilities, we are striving to achieve our common goal of reducing health inequalities and democratising healthcare access, by building a truly digital front door to care.
We are delighted to be headline partners of the HSJ Awards for a second consecutive year. The Awards provide a huge opportunity to drive positive change across the sector through best practice sharing and to recognise the hard working individuals and teams who continue to strive for better patient outcomes. Vodafone’s purpose is to ‘connect for a better future’ and to build greater inclusivity in society by reducing the digital divide. This makes the Awards particularly meaningful as we work together to provide innovative solutions to better support the NHS. I look forward to meeting the finalists.
