Digital transformation in the NHS
How, where and when patient care is given is changing. There is a natural evolution towards smart healthcare services, where technology is embedded across clinical pathways and the digital patient is the new normal. It is vital that our NHS health services, staff and patients are ready for this. Ultimately, smarter healthcare means better quality, more efficient and safer patient care.
At CCS, our technology experts are here to help you embrace your trust’s digital transformation journey, and develop a comprehensive technology procurement strategy.
We’ve put together a step-by-step guide to buying digital transformation solutions in the NHS. We explore the 3 main phases, with a clear breakdown of the programme stages and projects you will go through along the way.
Digital transformation in local government
Digital transformation is playing a key role in creating the local government of the future. One where increased and improved use of technology can help evolve public services and meet the needs of communities more effectively and efficiently.
We’ve put together a guide for all councils undertaking digital transformation projects. It uses the cross-government agreed technology code of practice as a starting point and demonstrates how our technology agreements can help you wherever you are on your journey.
