Time to build upon the digital journey

摘要

From virtual GP appointments to our world-leading vaccination programme, we've all seen first hand the transformative power of data-driven, digital technologies to protect lives during a crisis. As we look to the post-pandemic world however, we must ask ourselves how we can apply those same technologies to ensure our vital health services are ready to deal with the challenges of tomorrow.COVID-19 highlighted the need for medical professionals to be able to access crucial patient data whenever and wherever they need it. Robust, reliable data at the click of a button empowers clinicians to make faster, more informed decisions in the interests of those within their care.Adopting the right cloud solution is a crucial enabler, as demonstrated by Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust which uses our cloud Cito Electronic Document Records Management Solution. This solution offers clinicians instant access to vital patient information, including larger documents, photos and videos which were previously inaccessible from its Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems. Cito also supports a paperless approach, which ultimately means less room for error, more security and, ultimately, better outcomes for patients.
