Industry experience - New ways of working

Transforming healthcare together

The NHS is facing new challenges; the need to cut costs while also improving quality, innovation, productivity and prevention (QIPP) so that patients receive better care. Delivering patient-centric care, and maintaining information security are also key, meaning IT departments must find technological solutions that support all these strategic objectives, simply and cost-effectively.
 
UK healthcare organisations must find solutions that allow their healthcare professionals to work from any location, at any time. Adopting flexible, mobile working helps streamline activities and boost productivity by making patient information and critical data available on the go. This frees clinicians to spend more time with patients - wherever they are - by reducing unnecessary travel and site-based admin. The result is a higher level of patient care.

Vodafone has a strong heritage supporting NHS organisations with a powerful integrated services portfolio from mobile communications to unified communications (UC) and complete managed services. It’s a future-proof, adaptable offering that will help unlock NHS potential.

The workflow explained

Being able to seamlessly communicate and collaborate with colleagues ensures that even outside the boundaries of the Trust boundary, personnel at all levels can gain access to clinical or administrative systems and patient information and share it in real time. This results in faster, more informed decisions – no matter where staff are located. It also means that employees can remain effective and productive regardless of the time of day or location - and they'll be more agile and responsive, especially when meeting unplanned tasks. All while maintaining the security of NHS systems and the integrity of patient and clinical data.
