Insights for the Healthcare industry
- Enabling modern healthcare
Enabling modern healthcare - The healthcare industry faces huge challenges, with a wide range of ever increasing demands. Health services are under pressure to provide ever better service to an ever higher number of patients – often with fewer resources. The challenge for IT has to be to demonstrate value in practical terms acceptable to healthcare.

The integrated A&E solution facilitates the management and tracking of patients from admission - to either A&E or a Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) - through to discharge or admission to hospital. By providing a timely, single source of information to the right people the solution supports NHS Trusts in meeting the 4 hour A&E target, receiving payment for work undertaken (Payment by Results) and improving patient flow overall.
- A prescription for health
RFID is transforming healthcare by reducing error, improving compliance and allowing patients, staff and equipment to be tracked accurately.
- A Picture of Health - How technology is enabling a revolution in medical diagnosis.
With the last elements of PACS operational, X-ray and other scans can be processed digitally and then shared electronically. The result is faster diagnosis and an end to lost films – something that’s an essential part of the UK government’s plan that no patient should wait more than 18 weeks between referral and treatment.
- Where are your pathology results?
The benefit of creating more productive time is not just in meeting national targets. The real gain is in coping with complexity and delivery of better patient care.
- Returning the UK NHS to full Health
The NHS is moving towards a more transparent health service, one that offers patients a level of information and choice. The specialist IT sector has a responsibility to support healthcare providers by ensuring delivery of facilities and infrastructure that let clinicians and managers respond to pressures and change the way services are accessed.
