Insightful day at the Digital Health and Care Conference; supporting sustainable digital transformation, hosted by The King's Fund. A few takeaways below: Kicking off, a breakfast session with Mohi Khan, Sam Shah, Sarah Bradburn, and Rosie Kaur.   1. 🔎 Early identification through technology is key to avoiding deterioration - there is no lack of desire to drive innovation, the expertise is the challenge 2. ➗ The 'digital divide' continuous to grow - we’ve got to address this 3. 🤖 Automation has strong potential, but we must be conscious of ‘automation bias’ with a consideration for clinical and cyber safety 4. 📞 Remote technologies enable a remote workforce, reducing attrition and increase overall experience For the second session we were joined by Richard Meddings, Joe Harrison, Tommy Henderson Reay, Eamonn Dunne, Gemma Stacey and Mel Briers to discuss ‘the potential of digital innovation to transform health and care.   5. 💻 We continue to implement new solutions at pace with c.160 Trusts procuring a new EPR solution last year! 6. 📱 The NHS App has played a significant role, with c.4m repeat prescriptions in the app last month, saving 3 minutes per prescription (12m minutes saved!) 7. 📄 Social Care: 65% of care providers now using digital care records! For the third session, an ‘Interoperability and Integration’ breakout with Stephen Bush, Andrew Raynes CHCIO MSc, Savi Cartwright, Chris Johnson, hosted by Dr Loreen Chikwira. 8. 🥷 Cyber attacks have risen by 23% just this year - more needs to be done with suppliers to engineer out problems 9. ❌ We can’t afford to have monopolies forming (single vendor), this creates a single point of failure 10. 🕸️ We can’t afford not to be interoperable, but we must be conscious that swapping out systems is expensive and disruptive For the penultimate session of the day Emily Henderson, Lara Groves, Öznur Özkurt, and Iain Hennessey took to the panel to discuss ‘future facing technology’: 11. 🏆 We are creating an environment where new products can be built and scaled, with an innovation ecosystem that acts as a front door for innovators 12. 📊 There is requirement to build greater trust with the public a requirement when considering data sharing 13. 🏥 There has been a fundamental shift in care delivery with virtual wards and remote monitoring (12k virtual beds now in each ICS) For the final session of the day we were joined by, Jeremy Theal, Pritesh Mistry, Tim Ferris and Fiona Edwards to discuss 'releasing the potential of innovation'. 14. 💵 Unsustainable debt to GDP ratio across governments, national purchasing powers need considering on commodity technology.    15. 🧩 Big suppliers need to create an ‘innovation space’ within their products to allow others to develop on top 16. 🤝 National guidance on whole system procurement, but must allow the transformation to take place locally Great to be joined by Channel 3 Consulting colleagues, Angela Maragna and Manpreet Rakhra!

🌟 I share this article https://lnkd.in/drAPjebB by Kai Nicol-Schwarz for Sifted, as a call to action to address the systemic challenges and push for a more integrated approach to AI in healthcare. The point is on whether the NHS (and I add Spanish and EU Systems) is prepared to harness the potential of AI to transform healthcare. The article outlines the pressing needs of the healthcare sector, burdened by workforce shortages and the rising costs of treating an expanding and ageing population, suggesting AI could be a pivotal solution. Despite significant investment efforts, widespread deployment of AI in the NHS seems a long way off, primarily due to the rigorous process required for clinical validation to ensure safety and efficacy. However, their journey also emphasizes the challenges of navigating the NHS's complex structure for technology adoption. This same approach could be applied to the Spanish healthcare system. The article also touches on the broader implications for startups that, faced with slow adoption rates, may seek markets such as the U.S., where commercialization pathways are more accommodating. What steps are necessary to ensure that the current Healthcare System can capitalize on AI advancements to meet current healthcare demands and adapt to future challenges? This scenario underlines the need for streamlined processes and clearer pathways for technology adoption. #AI #HealthcareInnovation #NHS #EUHealthcare #DigitalTransformation

I am very proud to announce the launch of KPMG's 'Healthcare Horizons Revisited' thought leadership. This is the second in the series with the original paper 'Healthcare Horizons' published last year. I was lucky to be part of the expert team from 5 different countries to identify the component parts of making the new ecosystem of health work in this modern age and drive the quadruple aim! Healthcare Horizons Revisited explores the “how to” of healthcare transformation, showcasing real-life “trailblazer” examples of change, and “transformers,” as leading examples of ambitious system-wide healthcare reforms.

To expand on Rania Fazah comments understanding the axilogical, epistemological and ontological underpinnings feels like a necessary addition. They support and shape methodological choices and adaptions based on context. Sebastian Lemire curious your thoughts.

Deepening our understanding of the impact of healthcare and AI research on the environment at the Accenture Future Healthcare symposium. A simple ChatGPT interaction will consume equivalent of 500ml of water! Glad to meet up with Accenture leaders after earlier engagement in London and Eunos Polyclinic: another opportunity to continue the conversation on ways to sustain health of local population through AI related research with minimal impact on climate and environment. #SingHealth, #DukeNus, #Accenture, #SingHealthPolyclinics, #AI

Also on the theme of AI in the Public Sector is this recent paper from the Institute for Global Change. It makes some good points about AI, but I still think we have to be careful to get the best of out AI in the public sector.📈 https://lnkd.in/e_EsgF-C Mindful of the issue of getting the fundamentals right if we are to unlock the benefits of AI, this report has some excellent suggestions about the governance of AI in the public sector, including putting AI within the responsibilities of senior leadership in both the government and the civil service. 📜 It is also good on implementation, for example pilot and test, and insisting on standards like interoperability. ⚙️ And it identifies some excellent use cases - I'd certainly have liked a British LawGPT chat bot as every bit of policy advice I had to write had to be checked for legal implications, which certainly wasted government lawyers' time in some cases. 🧑‍⚖️ But will AI deliver the benefits and time savings the paper suggests? I think it's optimistic to characterise so much public sector work as suitable to AI use cases. And even if AI could help in all these cases, it's unlikely government would become cheaper/ work hours shorter. It would just mean government could do different things.⚖️ So I haven't changed my mind that AI can make a difference - we Alba Partners believe it can be hugely beneficial. But we do need to think carefully with each client about the right use cases and benefits for them. 🪄 Looking forward to talking about this the Scottish Government Digital Transformation event we're attending next week, and chatting about AI with folks there!

According to Public First the UK public is positive about the potential use of AI in public services! ⚙️ https://lnkd.in/eZ4SFs5x This is of course great news, as AI could improve public services. 🪄 But...these attitudes might quickly change if the public have a negative experience of AI - we have all seen those dodgy AI generated pictures, or the rogue and inappropriate AI chatbots - not to mention the problem of hallucinations. ⁉️ So while this is another firm foundation, it's also a reason to get the implementation of AI right - we have to keep users on board and maintain this goodwill. 📈 Alba Partners are thinking hard with our partners and clients about how we deliver on AI's potential in the public sector

Especially recommended for your organisation if you are #collaboration-focused, have #crossfunctional project teams, #matrixreporting, been reorganised to be #onestop shop with a service focus. These changes indicate a need for strategies to serve more and changing #stakeholders
