Session A: Panel Discussion 

Ensuring IT resilience and digital assurance – within and across organisations

With the expansion of digital patient pathways and the need for continuous data flow between systems and organisations to support clinical decision-making – ensuring the operational resilience of systems is more important than ever. 

Key discussion points:

• How should we manage system support in an interconnected environment? 
• Is there a role for a national arms-length body? 
• How can we generate economies of scale?

Freeing-up time for care by reducing the burden of clinical administration

Supported by Nuance

To clear the backlog within resource and capacity constraints, technologies that can unlock efficiency and free up time for care are in high demand.

The integration of speech-recognition technology into administrative and clinical workflows is already delivering results for NHS organisations – increasing efficiency, removing unnecessary delays in patient pathways and reducing costs. Through case studies and discussion, we’ll explore the opportunities for digitisation in clinical administration and the potential for future advancements.

Designing the next generation of hybrid access and patient choice 

Supported by KRY (Livi)

As the NHS debates the balance of remote vs face-to-face consultations – there is much to be determined about the future of digital access. Critical questions include:

• What do patients want in terms of choice and how they interact with NHS services?
• What have we learned about clinical effectiveness of remote consultations? 
• How do we ensure inclusion and access to services for all?
