The NHS Community Health Services Data Plan contains a clear vision to provide a 'single source of the truth'. It states that data about community health services must be relevant, good quality, linkable, consistently defined and of low burden for providers to collect. NHS England has said it will develop an aligned, strategic approach to primary and community data development that supports integrated care by March 2026 - but progress can be made now, especially with EPR interoperability. The guidance states that limited #interoperability of provider IT systems and complex information governance (IG) procedures make it difficult to deliver and plan joined up, integrated care locally. Very true, but it's not impossible to solve with the right suppport. https://lnkd.in/evbVFEMq

📣 We welcome the Innovation Ecosystem Programme recommendations, published today. The report rightly highlights the need for a focus on clearly defined national health innovation priorities, incentivising the partnership working required to deliver innovation, and improved alignment and shared accountability for innovation adoption performance. Our decade’s experience of innovating in the NHS has demonstrated that innovation is a team sport, and it works best when all the necessary players are enabled to play their specific, but coordinated, roles as the examples laid out in this report highlight.

Todays report from the Innovation Ecosystem Programme (IEP) outlines ways the NHS can further develop and implement innovations in healthcare. There is an opportunity to embed the report’s recommendations into the forthcoming 10-year health plan, they include: Building skills, capabilities and culture and unlocking time the help the NHS workforce prepare for future ways of working. Developing commercial approaches to share value and adoption in testing innovation. Building robust evaluations to assess the impact of innovations. We welcome the report and look forward to continued collaboration with colleagues across the East of England

We're pleased to see the publication of this report, which highlights the need for clearly defined national innovation priorities. Achieving greater impact and value from faster and more extensive adoption of health innovation is critical to delivering the three shifts articulated by government. The 15 health innovation networks are the health innovation adoption experts and we're looking forward to continuing our work with partners to deliver on the ambition of the Innovation Ecosystem Programme, in a locally relevant way.

"When it lands on 1st October, the new #SSNAP dataset is going to be a game changer for the whole stroke team at West Suffolk Hospital. But despite the changes to come, the foundations we have in place after 10 years of using Capture Stroke for the development and improvement of our stroke services mean that the process for the collection and utilisation of data is deeply embedded in our everyday practice – so we are well prepared." Read the article below to see how we've supported West Suffolk Hospital's stroke team to deliver data-led improvements and SSNAP score improvements 👇 #strokecare #stroke #nhs

📢 Key Themes from the Health Tech Alliance (HTA) Response to the NHS 10-Year Health Plan Over the last couple of months, the Government has been welcoming organisations’ views on the new 10-Year Health Plan for the NHS. At the HTA, we welcomed Lord Darzi’s wide-ranging review of the NHS and took this opportunity to highlight the pivotal role that HealthTech could play in overcoming critical challenges such as the 7.8 million elective care backlog, declining patient outcomes, and the shift from treatment to prevention. 🚀 Top Priorities for the 10-Year Health Plan: Shifting Care to Communities with HealthTech: Embedding new technologies such as surgical robotics, AI-driven diagnostics and remote monitoring tools will help reduce bottlenecks, enable earlier interventions and faster discharges, improving both patient outcomes and reducing NHS costs. Accelerating Innovation Adoption: With an average timeframe of 17 years before new tech is implemented in mainstream use, we called for better pathways from approval through to adoption, to close this gap. Spotting Illnesses Earlier: Diagnostic inequalities and staff shortages are delaying patient care. Scaling advanced screening and technology adoption would allow the NHS to tackle these issues head-on. 💡 Policy Recommendations: Short-Term: Adjust capital budgets to enable rapid adoption of proven tech and streamline procurement rules. Medium-Term: Expand community-level HealthTech access and improve data-sharing standards by 2027. Long-Term: Establish a sustainable framework for HealthTech funding akin to medicine funding. HealthTech has huge potential to improve healthcare efficiency, prevention, and patient outcomes. It’s time to remove the barriers and unlock its full potential. #HealthTech #NHS #DigitalHealth #10YearPlan #Innovation #TechInnovation #HealthCare #MedTech

💡 Lord Darzi's review highlights critical reforms needed for the NHS to thrive in the future, particularly focusing on capital investment, digital transformation, and data integration. One of the key recommendations is the shift to more technology-driven care, aligning with Wes Streeting's strategic priorities of moving care from hospital to community, and from treatment to prevention. This transformation depends heavily on high-quality, integrated data systems, ensuring seamless communication between healthcare providers.   👉 The report emphasizes that poor data integration remains a significant barrier, especially as many healthcare systems remain siloed. This is crucial to enabling predictive, preventive care through innovations like AI, which require robust information standards and interoperable systems. The success of digital tools like virtual wards and AI relies on these foundations. 🔹 To achieve the three NHS shifts—hospital to community, analogue to digital, and treatment to prevention—we need to start with standards. High-quality data, underpinned by information standards, drives seamless communication between providers, puts patient needs at the heart of care, and keeps them out of hospital. 🔹 Better integrated care could help save up to 3 million A&E visits a year. Yet in 2023, less than 50% of patients were discharged with a summary outlining their needs. Standards like PRSB's eDischarge Summary Standard save 60-80 hours per week per GP practice—proven impact! #LordDarzi #integratedcare #edischarge #NHS #healthcare #socialcare
