Yesterday's NHS waiting times figures demonstrate just how far there is still to go to clear the backlog. Our CEO & co-founder Jacob Haddad spoke to Times Radio about the urgent need for staff to be given tech that streamlines waiting lists and improves patient care. He said: "Today's figures demonstrate the critical need for a whole systems approach to healthcare, it's not just about minor tweaks; it's about fundamentally rethinking how care is delivered and ensuring the system is joined up." Jacob also emphasised the importance of leveraging communication platforms to reduce waiting lists and improve efficiency. "By contacting patients with simple questions, we've found that many can be removed from waiting lists because they no longer need treatment."

At Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, we have mapped our data into the OHDSI (Observational Health Data Sciences & Informatics) OMOP Common Data Model (>1.5M patients, >450M measurements, ~18M visits, etc. https://lnkd.in/e9bz_Dqx. 🎞 📷 ) When I first set LTH on this journey, I knew of no one else in the Northwest of England doing this, let alone at this scale and not in the way I wanted this to be done. In less than 12 months, we accomplished quite a bit - including incremental daily refreshes so that our OMOP data is as fresh 🍀 as the midnight before extending the use of OMOP to much more than research uses. At about the same time I decided that we were going to do this, I also discovered dbt Labs's data-build-tool (https://getdbt.com/). This radically changed how we were able to do this as a team and accelerated development. See our ELT documentation here -> https://lnkd.in/evb_yshe. I was fortunate to have an incredibly talented data engineer who was willing to learn dbt and OMOP fast and is now doing a PhD in data engineering! And, Tim Howcroft joined the team as well and is leading on the cancer work. As we look to scale the OMOP transformation work to all of Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) with University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust next, am I wrong to consider swapping dbt for SQLMesh (https://sqlmesh.com/)? One way to find out is to evaluate them. So, I rebuilt the OHDSI Achilles scripts in both dbt (for SQLServer and Databricks) and SQLMesh. They all work (including DataQualityDashboard in dbt for Databricks). dbt_achilles: https://lnkd.in/ePHjw-Xs sqlmesh_achilles: https://lnkd.in/eDHY5sxE dbt has been phenomenal so far 🚀 but with our OMOP data in Databricks and as the complexity and scale of ELT grows, SQLMesh promises certain advantages over dbt. We have spent a year getting good at using dbt and wonder if SQLMesh's approach is superior enough to pivot for our use case. This will be an important decision in the coming weeks - one that will have ramifications for how we operate as a team 🤼 , our ability to scale as well as manage our cloud consumption costs. 💰 I would welcome thoughts from anyone here 🙏 .

Digital Health Unplugged Podcast: Why is the NHS so difficult to sell to? https://lnkd.in/emEnAtY6 Jordan Sollof, reporter at Digital Health News, is joined by Lloyd Price and Mohammad Al-Ubaydli to talk about procurement and why the NHS is so difficult to sell to. From their own experience, Price, a HealthTech founder, M&A advisor for Nelson Advisors and Non-Executive Director for various Digital Health companies, and Al-Ubaydli, Founder and Chief Executive of Digital Health social enterprise, Patients Know Best, shine a light on the main issues that can make selling to the NHS a challenge. The pair discuss success stories of startups which have successfully sold to the NHS, before assessing whether companies and suppliers need to take more care in ensuring they are pitching the right solution to the right organisation. They give their views on whether the NHS procurement process has become overcomplicated, a point raised in a session at Rewired 2024, and speculate whether the forthcoming Procurement Act (which was originally due to come into force in October 2024, but has been delayed until February 2025) will solve some issues and make it easier for those selling in the health technology sector. Finally, the guests predict what they anticipate will happen in the coming months and years, including whether the NHS will become a simpler system as a whole to sell to or if we will still be having the same conversation about difficulties selling in a few years’ time https://lnkd.in/emEnAtY6

In recent years, the demand for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has surged, particularly within cash-pay medical practices. As practitioners strive to meet the evolving healthcare needs of their patients, understanding the dynamics of the TRT market becomes imperative. Understanding the Market Landscape: The TRT market within cash-pay medical practices is witnessing significant growth, fueled by various factors. These include an aging population, increased awareness of hormonal health, and shifting attitudes towards proactive healthcare management. Moreover, the rise in men seeking solutions for symptoms associated with low testosterone levels has propelled the demand for TRT services. Market Drivers and Trends: Several factors are driving the demand for TRT in cash-pay medical practices: 1: Growing Awareness: With heightened awareness of the symptoms and health implications of low testosterone levels, more men are seeking TRT as a solution. 2: Lifestyle Factors: Modern lifestyles characterized by stress, sedentary habits, and poor dietary choices contribute to hormonal imbalances, driving the need for TRT. 3: Patient-Centric Care: Cash-pay medical practices prioritize personalized care, making TRT an attractive option for patients seeking tailored solutions to their health concerns. 4: Aging Population: As the population ages, the prevalence of age-related testosterone decline increases, leading to a higher demand for TRT services. While the TRT market presents lucrative opportunities, it also comes with challenges... Check in tomorrow for part two, which will focus on challenges and considerations! ##MedicalPracticeGrowth #healthcare #trtproviders
