Implementation, however, remains the critical element! As is the case across many industries, digital-first healthcare looks like it is here to stay and organisations must ensure that their technical offerings become fully integrated within the healthcare culture if we are to prevent problems in the future. The providers of technologies that have been adopted so rapidly during Covid-19 will need to ensure that not only technical implementation but cultural implementation is addressed in order to meet the rising expectations of health providers and patients alike.
In this issue, we include a range of content that looks at the different issues around technology implementation and how transformation can be achieved while maintaining quality across the continuum of care.
Peter Corscadden of Hyland Healthcare discusses ‘Digital Enablement, As a Route to a Better Patient Experience’; while Lucy Mackillop of Sensyne Health asks ‘Can Digital Care Pathways Actually Reduce Demand on our Healthcare Systems?’. Also inside, Tim Morris of Elsevier discusses the Technology Enabling Nurses to Fight Covid-19; and we present original research from solution provider MediShout that discusses the capture of real-time data, on problems with logistics and infrastructure occurring in hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic.
As well as all the usual Industry News, Interviews and Insight.
