ROYAL PAPWORTH HOSPITAL NHS
“ The job of any CIO is not to focus on the latest red balloon that comes by , but on specific solutions for specific problems ”
ANDREW RAYNES CIO , ROYAL PAPWORTH HOSPITAL NHS
a patient adds to their record the more holistic their healthcare picture becomes . Much like when you take out car insurance , you ’ ll be able to interact with your record , offering a much greater tailored experience for the patient .
“ This creates a much more interactive , more carbon and emission neutral process too , just by meeting patients where they ’ re at .”
Technology for defence as well as innovation It ’ s clear that technology has enabled an improved customer experience for NHS patients , both at Royal Papworth and across the UK , largely because a selective , considered approach has enabled the service to innovate where innovation is most needed .
However , technological capabilities employed by the NHS are not just tailored to innovation ; unfortunately , cyber security has to be high on the agenda too .
Recently , cyber attacks on hospitals have risen by as much as 95 %, so while Royal Papworth ’ s technology and data infrastructure is geared to innovate , it also protects hospital data from hackers seeking to gain access to sensitive patient information . healthcare-digital . com 221
