Health services must collaborate and communicate

Digital communications across the health services have to be radically improved in order to enable health professionals to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on patient-centric activities. For example, in relation to enabling such communication amongst professionals, while email is useful, care must be taken not to try to use it for purposes for which it was never intended, especially these days with the maturation and cost-effectiveness of cloud and collaboration technologies that can substantially improve communication and cooperation between professionals at low cost.

Communication and collaboration

Obviously, the email platform should continue to address facilities such as creating and receiving emails, delegated access, distribution lists, shared mailboxes, out-of-office assistant, archiving, email router, portable email accounts, gateway and relay, but all too often email locks away patient information from most health professionals when they need it.

Health services – collaboration between professionals

Current state of affairs and possibilities for innovation

The Health and Social Care Act 2012 and complementary work such asThe Power of Information published by the Department of Health in May 2012, outline a radical new approach for commissioning and delivery of clinical services, which is necessary if health providers are to sustain the services at the point of need that the public expect and require.

Health services innovation

Also, as recently outlined by Tim Kelsey, the National Director for Patients and Information at the NHS Commissioning Board, the increased use of digital systems to support such a fundamental change across the NHS is critical to the sustainability of the health service.

The increasing availability of Summary Care Records is positive but does not address the need for health professionals to share the detailed information with which they can maximise their effectiveness and efficiency – to spend more time on patient-centric activities while also being well informed with the latest up-to-date patient information when required.

Unleash the benefits of social business

Should your business be social?

To many of us the answer to this question is obvious and this post may seem like it’s teaching you to suck eggs, but let’s not forget that we are still in the minority. Many people remain stifled by organisational red tape, aren’t engaged or just have their head in the sand and are blissfully unaware of the benefits of social business.

The benefits of social business

Let’s begin by touching on the most important element of social business (the clue is in the title). It’s not about the technology, nor a process, but about the human network that exists in your organisation. Without realising this and ensuring everything you do has this as its core entity, no amount of technology or process will solve the communication challenges and problems your organisation is facing (problems that are actually common in many, if not most organisations). Here we hope to highlight how ‘being social’ can benefit you, your team and your organisation - whilst aligning with the overall strategic goals of your business.
