Current Landscape
The interoperability landscape within NHS Trusts is evolving rapidly, driven by the urgent need to improve patient outcomes, streamline operations, and optimise resource use. Trust-wide interoperability enables seamless communication and data exchange across systems, including Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems, Patient Administration Systems (PAS), Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (ePMA) systems, and telemedicine platforms. These integrated systems are vital for managing workflows, enhancing care delivery, and supporting informed decision-making.
As digital transformation accelerates, NHS Trusts are harnessing these technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce administrative burdens, and deliver higher-quality care. By embedding interoperability into their digital strategies, Trusts can achieve a more connected and patient-focused healthcare system.
Timeliness of the Event
This conference arrives at a pivotal moment as NHS Trusts face increasing pressures to meet digital maturity and interoperability mandates by 2025. In the face of financial constraints, rising clinical demands, and regulatory pressures, NHS leaders must prioritise digital transformation to overcome these challenges.
The event provides a timely platform for healthcare professionals, IT leaders, and policymakers to share best practices, explore innovative solutions, and collaborate on overcoming barriers to seamless data exchange. Attendees will gain actionable insights to accelerate their progress toward trust-wide interoperability and ensure compliance with national mandates.
