How Can We Transform the NHS? 👨‍⚕️ In the recent edition of Chamber's journal, Flatiron Health's Adam Manhi emphasises data's pivotal role in NHS transformation, proposing strategies to address challenges that foster collaboration and enhance healthcare outcomes. Key Takeaways: - NHS faces challenges in delivering quality care amid resource constraints and disparities in cancer treatment. - Data is crucial for driving innovation in healthcare, including AI training, personalized medicine, and reducing health inequalities. - Curating research-ready datasets from unstructured patient data can accelerate cancer research and improve care. - Collaboration between health data companies, NHS trusts, and policymakers is essential for maximising data utilisation. - Policymakers should prioritise developing robust strategies, operational support, and transparent communication to build public trust and ensure effective data governance.

We all know that more is needed to make further and faster progress on digital transformation in the NHS. In partnership with NHS Confederation, we spoke to digital healthcare leaders to understand the challenges facing ICBs in implementing digital programmes in health and care. We identified five key areas where improvements could be made to accelerate the pace and effectiveness of digital programmes for patients, staff and systems.

Research by NHS Providers found that 73% of trust leaders surveyed said that funding and financial constraints are the biggest barrier to digital transformation. Saffron Cordery, deputy chief executive of NHS Providers, said that outdated technology often adds to clinicians’ workloads and hinders, rather than improves, efficiency and productivity. “Digital transformation has huge potential to give patients better access to their data, better access to care and to ensure that staff can get the reliable information they need to inform decision-making and improve quality of care.

The recent Lord Darzi report recognises the NHS is in dire need of a #digitaltransformation. The report highlights how our nation’s health service is in the most perilous position since its inception in 1948. Core recommendations include a move from hospitals to community care, and a greater emphasis on prevention and training. Solutions offered include:  ✅️ The transition from analogue to a digital NHS   ✅️ Moving more care from hospitals to communities   ✅️ Focusing efforts on prevention over sickness    Reflecting on the simplicity of the original 1948 concept for a National Health Service, it places the family doctor as central to delivery. We believe #VR training for GPs and support staff is crucial in addressing the NHS training crisis. Here is an example of exactly that. Teams of GPs engaging in immersive simulation training based upon patient pathway and diagnostics of #ChronicPain,  a condition estimated to affect up to  28 million people in the UK.  So, why is #VR for so effective for primary care training? - Immersive, experiential learning  - Deeper emotional connections via embodied perspective of patient/HCP/GP  - Reduced distractibility with enhanced engagement   - Scalable and accessible  - Interactive / personalised learning journeys This is how we transform training... 👉 https://lnkd.in/eACezi_k Get in touch to talk to us about how VR can transform training for your organisation: 📧 [email protected]

I love it when the good guys win. C2-Ai were generating transformative outcomes in healthcare way before the hype around AI. They do this by adjusting for clinical risk at scale, guiding organisations to predict avoidable harm and mortality by intervening early and precisely. Their engine is trained by world-experts on over 500 million patient records from 47 source countries. They are the gold standard. Critically, they have done this globally for years without adding burden to frontline staff or generating friction in workflows. This is aligned with my own work at Vita Healthcare Solutions. Our thesis is that healthcare is fundamentally different to other industries when it comes to scale and adoption. It’s not that scalable health innovation gains adoption. Instead, our thesis is that adoptable health innovation scales (which is also why most health accelerators or investors don’t add value). Part of the problem around the excessive hype in AI today is that we often end up concentrating on exciting early innovation that hasn’t yet fully found its feet. There is a place for that, of course (and some wonderful early-stage firms), but not if it means we overlook the mature innovation that we still so badly need to see reach scale. Most innovation agencies are primarily incentivised to support the continual growth and progress of our early pipeline from ideation to GTM, but there is still a gap in supporting efforts to scale for mature firms. To be clear, if we can’t ensure a firm like C2-Ai scales, something is badly wrong. They’re not alone; Patients Know Best, ORCHA, AdviseInc, Cognitant Group Limited, Cogniss, Axela, Written Medicine, CyberLiver Limited, PatientSource, Medefer, Cyted Health, Surgery Hero, C the Signs, inicio health, Doc Abode , iBox Healthcare, FITFILE, ImproveWell, Inavya Ventures Ltd., Patchwork Health, Vivan Therapeutics, Inovia Bio, Feedback Medical, MediShout, Pangaea Data, Newton's Tree, Stress Point Health, Lenus Health, Arcturis, uMotif, syd™, IgniteData, Visionable Global and a few dozen more firms (sorry if I missed you out) should all be supported to scale nationally and internationally. I’ve advocated for C2-Ai for a while. During the height of the Covid pandemic, I produced a list of 10 essential UK innovations for a pandemic response on LinkedIn and they made it in easily. When I later produced the First 100 Export Playbook for Digital Health for the Department for Business and Trade (then the DIT), I scored the innovators formally in private, and C2-Ai were the highest ranked by some distance. If you want to protect patients in your facility, region or country from avoidable harm, or want to finally invest in a digital health firm with a huge but realistic TAM-SAM-SOM there are few actions that feel as obvious or as necessary as engaging with C2-Ai.
