Unlocking efficiencies with technology

How to maximise your resources
and reduce costs

Achieve more with less

Modern IT infrastructure, connectivity and support are necessary to make the move to secure integrated care systems (ICSs) seamless. They become the foundation for full digital transformation across the total health ecosystem.

Investing in a robust and secure network is the
first step in enabling the tools your workforce needs to do their jobs efficiently and effectively. It can also help reduce costs in the long term by unlocking opportunities to make the tech you have
work harder too.

Here are a few examples of how you can make that happen with the support of digital partners.

Set up virtual and on-site
digital support hubs

Create support hubs that ensure staff are properly trained on the tech they use. This will help them use tech efficiently and resolve any issues quickly.

Integrate connectivity across the health ecosystem

Use a unified
communications solution

Simplify tasks by enabling your team to call, chat, share, present and meet from a single app. They’ll be able to support more patients while still providing high quality care.

Accelerate and utilise the move to the
cloud to share data across your ICS more easily and safely. You’ll be able to streamline multiple contracts too.

‘Digital shouldn’t be something separate. It needs to be part of the DNA; part of everything that happens. Digital must be at the table from the very beginning to say that this needs to be part of the planning.’

Digital transformation in practice

The Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCH&C) serves a population of more than 900,000 at more than 70 locations.

Its existing network infrastructure was inflexible, reliant on data centres and could not meet the needs of a large community health trust.

With our help, NCH&C took the bold decision to embark on a digital transformation journey and move to a cloud-based, software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN)-supported system.

The new connectivity solution delivered:

Significant cost savings
A tenfold improvement in network speed and resilience
Dramatically reduced network outages

And the best part?

We managed to create a seamless transition to the new solution for NCH&C, with very little disruption to end users.

‘It’s rare when large-scale infrastructure projects deliver exactly what they promise – but with sufficient planning and groundwork. Fortunately this was one of those occasions.’
