NHS software to improve care
The NHS will roll out new software from spring next year to deliver better joined-up care for millions of patients, help tackle waiting lists and reduce hospital discharge delays. The software will bring together existing NHS data, making it easier for staff to access key information to provide improved and more timely patient care. The new tool, known as the Federated Data Platform, will join up key information currently held in separate NHS systems to tackle some of the big challenges the health service faces coming out of the pandemic.
