BIGHAND, a leading provider of voice technology to the healthcare market, has signed up three further NHS Trusts through the Yorkshire and Humber NHS Framework, incorporating some 2,000 users.
The three NHS Trusts to have ordered BigHand voice software include: Basildon & Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, The Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust and Airedale NHS Trust. BigHand voice software helps Trusts remove costly and time consuming administrative duties, allowing hospital staff to concentrate more fully on their clinical requirements. During 2009, BigHand was selected by the NHS Yorkshire and Humber Commercial Procurement Collaborative for the provision of digital dictation and speech recognition. This Framework is available to Trusts across the UK and removes the need for time consuming tender processes. Other NHS Trusts who have already invested in BigHand technology include, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust, Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust and The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.
