Never in recent memory has the world been affected by one incident as much as the COVID-19 pandemic. It has caused the planet to grind to a halt almost overnight and has put untold pressure onto the NHS like never before. Whilst most organisations have been able to allow their staff to work from home across the board the NHS has still had to have people physically in the Trust to deliver frontline care to those in need. However, most back office staff have been working remotely to ensure that the risk of transmission is as low as possible with their workload going through the roof. Pressure has been put on everyone from the Chief Executive through to the front line clinicians
Digital Transformation, something which almost every Healthcare organisation has wanted to undertake, has typically had a delivery timeframe of years but COVID-19 has seen this cut, in many occasions to a matter of weeks. In addition, alongside this we have seen process which were originally put in place to protect patients removed for the very same reason. So why and how have timeframes for delivery been slashed and potential blockers been removed? How do we ensure that we do not slip back to the old ways of working but also ensure that we do check back and make sure the new digital transformation agenda is built upon solid foundations?
