A solution to support Digital Transformation

A solution to support Digital Transformation

The Lord Darzi report highlights the need for the NHS to enter the ‘digital era’, with a major tilt towards the technology and digital systems needed to unlock productivity. The Prime Minister has reiterated this message, saying that the NHS needs a big shift to digital, while the Secretary of State for Health has called for a tech- and data-driven reform of the NHS, pledging to tackle long waiting lists and create “a digital healthcare service powered by cutting-edge technology.”

It’s clear that emerging and innovative technology will be at the forefront of the NHS transformational plans for the future and procurement of these will become a priority. Our Digital Transformation for Better Patient Outcomes Combined Framework Agreement Solution combines eight framework agreements that, together, provide the NHS with the tools needed to embrace this technology and improve patient outcomes.
