UKCloud Health has launched a new initiative aimed at supporting and delivering the draft NHS data strategy.
Published in June 2021, the draft policy document “Data that saves lives: reforming health and social care with data ” aims at capitalize the work used with data during the pandemic to improve health and care services.
The strategy aims to break down data barriers and give patients confidence that healthcare and healthcare staff have up-to-date medical information, allowing doctors to make faster and more informed decisions to deliver better treatment.
Collecting data in an easily accessible system will help ensure NHS staff spend less time looking for the information they need, freeing them up to spend more time with their patients, depending on the strategy.
One requirement is that a data platform from multiple datasets creates greater visibility and vision.
In response, UKCloud Health has launched Cloud of health – A collaborative approach between UK healthcare providers and UKCloud that aims to help hospitals and clinicians get the most out of data through cloud services.
The initiative aims to facilitate the data center modernization process and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
David Price, director of UKCloud Health, said: “Many of the confidants we talk to have already written a digital strategy that may not include a data or cloud strategy.
“By design and based on feedback, our Health Cloud initiative is a combination of strategic commitments, agnostic cloud technologies, solutions and services for partners focused on meeting the future needs of a digital NHS. Health Cloud is delivered to the UKCloud sovereign platform, ensuring that valuable data remains a national asset and that its intrinsic value is returned to UK citizens. ”
