In his official report, published today, Lord Darzi emphasises the urgent need for more ‘technologies that would support more efficient, higher quality, safer care in the community’, and for technologies capable of radically reshaping NHS treatment pathways. This is not something that we need to wait years to see. This year alone, millions of NHS patients will directly benefit from the launch of new tech tools into NHS pathways. In July of this year, 13,000 NHS patients with musculoskeletal injuries accessed on-demand, virtual triage through the #Phio platform. That’s 13,000 people who bypassed waiting lists and were directed straight to the best source of treatment. By forging new tech-medited care pathways, tools such as #Phio are helping reduce the burden on secondary care and conserve resources across the health system. A commitment to further accelerate the adoption of proven new technologies is a vital step to restore the world-leading status of the NHS. #FutureOfHealthcare #HealthcareTransformation #TechForGood https://lnkd.in/edYHcsJC
