Elective surgery and care backlogs challenge:
Reducing backlogs with technology
NHS trusts and boards are still recovering from the aftermath of the pandemic. There are challenges related to elective care backlogs that digital solutions can help to tackle, such as:
- Waiting list management,
- Virtual wards to free beds and staff shortages,
- Cutting ’did not attend’ rates for appointments and cancellations so teams can work full capacity and avoid having empty theatres,
- Artificial Intelligence solutions
In our webinar, Dr Neil Shaw, an anesthesiologist at NHS Fife, will introduce their new digital preoperative assessment process where patients can remotely carry out their preoperative assessments via an app. The webinar presenters will gather together for an interactive panel discussion to discuss how different ways how technology can support tackling the NHS Elective surgery and care backlog. Finally, Jussi Maatta, CEO of Buddy Healthcare, will present a suggested strategy for the digital transformation of perioperative and elective care pathways.
During this webinar you'll learn about:
- New innovative ways and tactics for tackling the elective care and surgery backlog
- How NHS trusts and boards can digitise elective surgery and care pathways
- How digitised pathways help clinics streamline their care coordination and patient communication
- A real-life case example of the electronic preoperative assessment process
