HSJ webinar discussed what smart hospitals should look like and how to make it work for the wider health and care landscape

 

 

On demand recording now available

The UK government has said that its new hospital programme for England will “implement cutting-edge digital technologies across the NHS”. But care doesn’t only happen in hospitals, and if the government is to achieve its vision of integrated care across localities and regions, the new “smart” facilities will have to be part of a wider, digitally-optimised ecosystem. Key questions include:

• What is a smart hospital and what should it look like?
• Who needs to be part of the design and development process?
• What is the role of the smart hospital in delivering and enabling place-based care?
• How can health and care organisations “build out” from the smart hospital?
• What needs to happen so that smart hospitals can contribute to the three Ps – personalised care, population health management and prevention?
• What are the barriers to making this happen – and how can they be overcome?

This HSJ webinar, run in association with Cisco, brought together a panel of experts to discuss the above.

A recording of the session is now available.
