What:

Are these the issues that are holding you back?

• Staff devote valuable working time to ensure effective coordination and updates between colleagues and other agencies

• Patient time further eroded by activities like paperwork, travel and admin "Nurses are able to make clinical decisions wherever they are for any of their patients as all of the information is with them at all times. Patient information is delivered automatically and securely to their laptops whenever they have a connection" Sue Baldwin, Assistant Director of Intermediate Care

• Managers are still using manual analysis and ad-hoc sampling to inform performance management and clinical audit

• Budget available for IT improvements are limited, so you will have to rely on demonstrable productivity gains to fund any initiatives you take.

Why wait? See what is available now, uses Microsoft Office as the base platform, and fits into the ‘wider picture’:

• Hear Professor Iain Carpenter, University of Kent outline the vision, and the goals of the project, and how PCT staff shaped the solution that works for them

• See the application live with Ray Jordan, D2i solutions Director, how information is shared real-time using Microsoft Groove, and how operational metrics are created and viewed

• Find out in conversation with James Jarvis – Eastern & Coastal Kent PCT Head of IT & NHS CfH (Operations), how security, governance and data management issues were resolved Microsoft Office is one of the elements covered in the NHS enterprise-wide agreement signed June 2007. This means your Trust can draw down licences that include Groove – Microsoft Office software for mobile collaboration.

• Get panel feedback on the issues that matter to your organisation, and learn more about the approach at Eastern & Coastal Kent PCT
