A series of six one-hour seminars running in the morning and afternoon of the event will allow delegates to understand complex areas of specific interest. The sessions will then open up into an interactive discussion on the key issues raised, giving you the chance to contribute to the debate as well as be updated on hot topics of the day. Some of the seminar areas that will be covered are as follows:
Streamlined patient flow, reduced Length of Stays, managing HCAI’s, superior Bed Management, expedited admissions and discharges …but less administration? Is it really possible?
Find out during McKesson’s workshop led by a case study example with Walsall Hospitals NHS Trust.
Understand how Walsall:
• have become better ‘eQIPPed’ by integrating existing systems across the hospital with visual controls technology
• are reducing the nursing administrative burden and ‘Releasing Time to care’! Gaining a holistic view of Patients, their Care Needs and Beds…at a glance!
• have clear, concise real-time information! Less staff interruptions > greater nursing satisfaction > greater patient satisfaction
• have transparency and accountability – with unequivocal evidence as to where the bottlenecks lie preventing effective patient care
• support Lean Principles and operate not just a ‘Productive Ward’ but a truly Productive Hospital!

By using a digital pen solution to capture patient data electronically at the point of care, midwives in Portsmouth have transformed the way they work. With minimal changes to working practices, the mobile solution has significantly reduced admin and the need to travel back to base. It is also projected to deliver £220,000 efficiency savings per annum. In the seminar, we will demonstrate the solution and take delegates through the journey; sharing best practice, as well as the benefits now being realised by mothers and midwives.

NHS Direct is at the forefront of developing services to help people improve their healthcare. This workshop will look at two innovations currently being piloted:
1. Online Patient Decision Aids promote informed patient choice in the first national web-based project of its kind in the UK. Patient Decision Aids are informational tools that help patients make informed healthcare decisions by providing information about the features and implications of treatments or screening options.
2. In parallel, NHS Direct is also piloting the Total Telehealth Service. This new ‘end-to-end’ service will improve the quality of life and empower people living with long term conditions using technology in the comfort of their own homes.

Modern healthcare involves a growing number of health and social care organisations operating in a myriad of complex care settings using disparate processes and systems. Against this background, there are continual pressures to deliver safe, efficient patient care more economically AND respond to frequent organisational and business challenges. At iSOFT, we believe that this complexity and these competing demands can only be addressed through effectively connected healthcare processes and this view was supported in the healthcare white paper” Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS “ where the requirement to join up local NHS services, social care was promoted.
Join us to explore the challenges and opportunities surrounding collaborative working to deliver connected healthcare.

During this session UnitedHealth UK will be using NHS Somerset as a Case Study. As the focus on improving health outcomes within tight financial constraints sharpens, the need to measure past and support future health needs within health communities has never been stronger.
Gain an insight into risk prediction technologies that improve care quality, reduce cost and increase efficiency. Understand who uses these tools, how they are implemented and what outcomes and savings are gained.
Learn how Predictive Risk Modelling allows clinicians, commissioners and managers to access patient level risk information to forecast future healthcare services utilisation and cost:
1. Predict the risk of unplanned hospital attendance and admissions at population and individual level
2. Plan proactive care management for patients with long term conditions
3. Implement care management strategies for high risk and high cost patients

To improve health services NHS Wales established the Informing
Healthcare Programme (IHP) to introduce new ways of accessing, using
and storing information across a fragmented healthcare environment.
At the foundation of its infrastructure, IHP implemented a Master
Person Index (MPI) to help health service applications effectively
share information. IBM® Initiate® Patient is integrated with patient
administration, pathology, radiology, theatre systems and specialty
systems to accurately link patient records and create a unified view.
In this session Nick Elcock, Deputy Programme Manager, Informing
Healthcare will share his experience with the MPI by discussing the
following:
- The need for an information sharing strategy at NHS Wales
- Why the MPI project is critical for broad-based health information
sharing
- How the open standards integration methodology supports a
multi-vendor environment
