NTF funding secured for palliative care ICT mobile platform
Debbie Fitzsimmons, Sue Mawson, Steve Ariss and colleagues from St. Luke’s Hospice and Sensory Technologies (UK) have secured £250,000 from the NHS
England Nursing Technology Fund to finance the implementation of a new
ICT mobile platform for community-based palliative care specialists at
St. Luke’s Hospice. This implementation will enable delivery of the
first stage of their Enhanced Community Palliative Support Service
(EnComPaSS). New capabilities resulting from this will include mobile
access to digital care records, capturing clinical data and observations
at point of care, real-time digital nursing dashboards, safer clinical
interventions and smart workforce deployment. Clinical workflows will
be enhanced through electronic assessments, care planning, delegated
specialist care and audit. Expected impacts include faster and better
informed decision-making; increased quality, accuracy and efficiency in
recording and managing data; and improvements in risk profiling, patient
safety and patient/carer experiences. Debbie and Sue are co-leading the
evaluation of EnComPaSS in the region, and are currently working on a
Horizon2020 submission with partners across the EU.
