Webinar: Smarter resource management in a future-focused NHS

24 September | 10:30am to 11:15am

As the NHS prepares to implement its 10-Year Health Plan, healthcare in England is poised for significant transformation. As well as a renewed focus on out-of-hospital and preventive care, organisations will be challenged to be more productive, efficient, and integrated. The path ahead offers both promise and complexity.

Turning the vision of the 10-Year Health Plan into reality will require a smarter approach to resource management, stronger collaboration between care providers, and robust technology foundations that can scale and adapt to changing needs. And in addition to carefully deploying the technology to help achieve these aims, organisations must ensure they have the right processes and people in place.

This HSJ webinar, sponsored by and produced with Idox, will showcase some of the real-world problems and solutions that providers face in this area, as well as the lessons learnt from a successful ongoing project at the Royal Papworth Hospital.

Join us to learn:

• Why real-time visibility of resources is essential to delivering safe, efficient care in multiple settings
• How flexible tracking solutions can empower providers to manage risk and boost productivity under pressure
• How better oversight of resources can help NHS organisations turn data into insights and action
• How the NHS Scan4Safety programme is helping improve care, safety, and transparency
