Summary:

«In an exclusive piece for Digital Health, Visiba Care’s UK manager, Tina Marshall, reflects on last month’s NHS Confederation conference and how digitisation can support existing care provision.»

«The goal here is to create a more streamlined and patient centric approach, as delays in accessing care can cause harm and distress to patients. Therefore, the quicker people who really need to see a GP can see one, the better. The real contribution technology can make is to speed up getting a patient access to the right person, who might not be a GP or consultant at all but could be a specialist nurse, dietician, physiotherapist, or a mental health nurse. They might even just need advice on self-care, and the sooner the decision is taken about what the patient needs, the better it is for everyone.»
