INSIGHTS SERIES: Will Smart (Part 1) – Innovating within the NHS

“Healthcare is the last analogue industry”

Transforming healthcare at scale requires a deep understanding of the complexities in delivering patient care and the potential for technology to support and improve patient outcomes.

In this video, Non-Executive Director Will Smart draws on over 30 years of frontline NHS experience to explain why standards-based data platforms and patient flow management are essential for the future of healthcare.

In conversation with Alcidion Chair, Rebecca Wilson, Will discusses:

• Why healthcare is ‘the last analogue industry’ and how Alcidion’s standards-based approach enables data consolidation across fragmented systems
• The reality of digital transformation and why deploying an EPR is just the beginning, not the end of the digitisation journey
• What’s driving the UK’s frontline digitisation program and how AI and clinical decision support can arm clinicians with the right information at the right time
• And more…

In Will’s words:

“Healthcare is the most important industry – we will all touch it at some point. It’s important that we have services that are the best they can possibly be.”
