DigiHealth UK: Harnessing Technology and Innovation
- 17 October 2017
- 08:30 - 17:00
- The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Digital technologies and big data are changing the rules of the game in the global healthcare landscape. Earlier this year the government launched its latest attempt to improve the use of technology in the NHS in England. A £4.2 billion investment, destined to encourage innovation and the uptake of digital technologies, promises to rethink and reshape how healthcare is delivered. Pioneering programmes are aiming to promote system interoperability and data sharing to support prevention strategies, quality standards and patient centred care.
In a challenging financial environment digital services could not only improve the quality of care through enhancing the patients’ experience of services, but also enable the NHS to realise efficiency benefits such as a reduced administrative burden, reduced hospital admissions and patient demand, and improved population health.
The aim is for the UK to be recognised globally as the most attractive place to launch radically new ways of using data, information and digital technologies to deliver fundamentally different forms of care.
However, the NHS has already experienced significant difficulties in realising the benefits of technology in the past. To become a truly digitally-enabled healthcare provider the NHS needs to rethink what work is done, re-engineer how it is done and capitalise on opportunities afforded by data to learn and adapt. This conference will explore how to successfully implement digital technology and deliver new models of care.
Join us at DigiHealth UK: Transforming Healthcare Delivery for the opportunity to hear from those leading the national agenda, and discover key digital innovations that could transform the future of health services.
The NHS has the opportunity to become a world leader in introducing new technology,
which means better patient outcomes and a revolution in healthcare at home. A £4.2 billion
investment will support the ‘Five Year Forward View’ plan to close a £30 billion gap between
NHS funding and demand by 2020-21.
By 2020, NHS Digital will have helped the UK become be a world leader in the development
and use of health and social care apps. The UK will be recognised globally as the most
attractive place to launch radically new ways of using data, information and digital
technologies to deliver fundamentally different forms of care.
