The ‘Digital’ Patient
Beverley Bryant - The Strategist
‘Be in no doubt, technology is at the heart of
transforming what we do and unleashing the power
of people. Your job is to make it happen. What we
have now is at best cumbersome and at worst
unsafe. Everything we do should contribute to
improving and sometimes saving peoples lives. If
you aren’t driving that vision, you’re irrelevant’
Angela Hamilton – The Patient Advocate
‘Every patient has the right to be treated as a VIP
with unique needs. Respect, dignity, access to
treatment where the patient chooses, the ability to
share information with whoever needs it, whenever
they need it are fundamental. Putting the patient at
the heart of our thinking and empowering people to
take ownership of their own health, should be core to
why we invest in technology’
Mark & Martyn - The Deluded Genius’s
‘Lorenzo may not be the answer for everyone, but it
does provide a credible platform for a full-fat,
information rich, integrated clinical record. Be
prepared for angst, frustration and uncertainty, but
you can have confidence in the product, its scope
for local customisation and on a credible
development roadmap which is influenced by us’
Dave Lang – Making Paperless Happen
‘Making the right investment, as part of a coherent
strategy, is key to creating an electronic record that
provides the basis for a paperless hospital. Invest
appropriately, build on what you have to gain
momentum and don’t get hung up on one solution for
everything. Get the governance right, engage with
clinicians, sell your idea to the organisation and be
very clear on how you will use the technology to drive
transformation and deliver tangible, measurable
benefits’
BT – Gaming in Healthcare
‘Games have the power to engage, educate and
modify behaviour. Through games we can help
citizens engage with our services and improve their
health and wellbeing. Is the NHS ready for this?
Probably not. But if we could visualise how
healthcare looked in 2025, it would almost certainly
include self-management through games’
Declan Hadley – Making Information Work
‘There is a whole industry out there of exciting and
innovative technology. Use it creatively but don’t
get seduced by it - people want simple, intuitive,
elegant solutions which make their life easier and
have a real positive impact. We won’t change
peoples behaviour and we won’t change the shape
of our care systems unless we build systems
which help not hinder their workflow and their daily
lives and which make people want to use them’
Mr Paul Curley – Clinical Informatics
‘Information is really critical for managing
effectively, for improving outcomes an for
highlighting areas of concern. Mostly our
information systems work well, but treat information
carefully and use it well. We need to collect the right
information, encourage clinicians to actively critique
and improve it and we should make better use of
patients and public representatives to tell us how we
are doing’
Tim Straughan – Smart Care
‘We can’t afford to carry on delivering care in the way we do now;
use of IT and big data is an opportunity to deliver transformational
change – whether we like it or not! We need to integrate with social
care to deliver quality care outcomes’.
12% of inhabitants of the world are on this planet today!
Don’t travel more than 2 stops on the underground
‘The ability to connect has increased significantly. Consumerization,
mobility and analytics will drive innovation in healthcare IT. Top
performing organizations are applying analytics' to activity. The NHS
needs to get its act together!’
Dr Paul Southern – Information in the new care system
‘Patients are “underwhelmed” by our ambition; they expect us to be
doing good things already!’
‘The future: less beds, less money and less staff, but more patients
and more expectation! We have to change’
‘Need to recognise that a lot of good work has been done, NPfIT did
deliver some valuable solutions. Need to build on this a reinvest
savings delivered through redesign; need to articulate our contribution
in a language that reverberates, and present the data in a clinically
meaningful way.’
‘CIO want: Quick wins, Friends (support networks), appropriate
devices, but most importantly – information to do the job!’
Craig Tilley – Bob’s our Uncle
‘The information is out there – we need to pull
it together and share it with the right people at
the point of care. Due to lack of access,
clinicians are expected to make decisions
based on out of date or no information.’
Portals are available and are strategic ‘interim’
solutions, but they needs to be simple! “Give
doctors something useful and build on that –
that’s the way to engage them”.
Rhys Davies – Big Data in the NHS?
Aim to create a collaborative centre of excellence
– must be able/willing to share assets. Leverage
of “JANET” was essential. Have created first UK
triangulated data centre. The N8 universities
collaborated on High Performance Computing –
can share out HPC capacity when free capacity.
Shared HPC capacity with Proctor & Gamble &
BBC. Created virtual research environment – now
working with health on project to create live data
research environment (ie Big Data capability).
