By aligning people, process and technology, chief information and technology officer, Dr Graham Evans, outlines how North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust has created the building blocks for clinically-led digital transformation and joined-up health and care.
Let us be clear. Digital transformation is not easy, especially in the NHS. It means working with patients, professionals and vendors to create an environment that sees technology as an enabler, rather than an obstacle to the delivery of care.
At North Tees and Hartlepool, our vision has been to develop that culture, by aligning people, process and technology, and working in partnership with stakeholders. It has been a significant effort, but now we are starting to see the benefits through innovations that are delivering joined-up health and care and the right patient outcomes.
Our vision has been to abide by the mantra of WWW – work with the willing. By winning the hearts and minds of people, we have been able to get staff to embrace and lead transformational change.
