Digitalisation is becoming increasingly important for NHS Trusts, ambitions for more progress to be made in driving innovation in the health service direction puts digital transformation at the centre of health and care reforms. Implementing new technologies will set the foundation for the future of patient care.
The National Public Sector Digital Transformation Solutions Framework provides NHS Trusts an easy and compliant route to transformative solutions that long term will reduce costs, save time and create vital efficiencies, whilst enhancing patient experience.
Healthcare Records Automation Services
A target of December 2023 has been set for 90% of NHS Trusts to have electronic patient records in place or be processing them. This is also the target date for social care providers to implement digital records.
The Digital Transformation Framework allows the NHS to leverage a single contract for multiple elements of their document workflows and beyond into communication. Using multi-functional devices as a print and scanning solution managed by software is now an obvious choice, but the drive to exclusively digital patient records (in line with NHS England directives - December 2023), coupled with local real estate challenges where repurposing space for clinical use is imperative, there is not only a need to be digital by default but a need to convert an enormous back archive (whilst still retaining access).
Digital by default from today was rightly the initial focus and this has delivered systems to contain the new records, but the size of the task, and the specification of the outcome for the archive has continually delayed the start of conversion of this mountain of paper. Framework suppliers have the ability to take, convert and securely destroy your paper patient records, or store off-site those that must be retained, leaving you with a recover-on-demand by digital methods solution – all of this leads to faster, better patient outcomes.

Hybrid Mail helps organisations by moving them towards a paperless environment and digitising your transactions. The solution is quick, accurate and efficient for printing and posting all outbound mail, and offers secure archiving of all processed outgoing mail. The solution eliminates the need for expensive franking machines, first class post and/or costly courier services.
Hybrid mail solutions offer NHS Trusts managed distribution of appointment letters which are critically important to arrive on time. They allow for a standardised template, better data tracking and significantly reduced delivery failure rates.
