Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the planned digitalisation of the NHS has been fast-tracked in some areas and de-railed in others with remote healthcare becoming an increasingly used service.
We are seeing more telehealth consultations than ever before, a rise in the national health service staff working from home, the rapid uptake of app usage in the healthcare sector, and the fast-tracking of AI integration in the healthcare sector.
So, how will these changes look in the long-term?
Alphalake Ai are hosting a live YouTube discussion to see how COVID-19 might change the healthcare system from the previous way of operating.
Join Dr. Sam Shah, Clinician and Digital Health Adviser, NHS, Martin Sadler, CIO, Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust, and Olly Cogan, CEO, Alphalake Ai as they explore the seismic shift that is taking place in health, including:
Telehealth
Will the dramatic rise in telehealth consultations continue after the threat of the pandemic has passed? Are NHS Trusts equipped for this shift in demand?
Remote Work
Which public health workers are able to work remotely? How widespread has the uptake of remote work been across the national health service?
Data security
Do data security concerns have an impact on enabling NHS workers to work remotely and provide remote healthcare services?
Streamlining NHS technology
Will COVID-19 lead to the unification of NHS technology? How has the introduction of the Nightingale Hospitals had an impact?
NHS and health apps
What role will these play in improving patient experience move forward? Will this lead to additional investment in health apps that provide remote healthcare?
Policy Change
How are these shifts being addressed at a policy level? Will policy evolve to meet the demand for more agile delivery of healthcare and remote healthcare services?
Join the live discussion for remote healthcare on YouTube on Thursday 14th May 2020 from 11:00 am through to 12:30 pm to find out and discuss potential solutions to the topics mentioned above.
