HOW READY ARE YOU?

It is essential for organisations to be ready before engaging with technology. This is important for shaping the market, realising benefits, achieving outcomes and ensuring sustainability.


Digital Health & Care

“An apocryphal (but probably not wildly out) statistic suggests that 80% of technology-supported change projects in health and social care fail. We all know that’s because they’re complex. It’s time to unpack what that complexity is all about – because failed technology projects are costly, wasteful and potentially harmful at both human and system level.”

Professor Trish Greenhalgh (University of Oxford)

Outcome-based Standards

The outcome is ultimately what is to be achieved. If services were assessed, the outcome is what is looked at. Having an outcome focus, gives providers more flexibility to meet the standard and it encourages innovation.


Clauses

Strategic Planning and Preliminary Considerations

The clauses set out suggested ways of meeting the overall outcome. Meeting the outcome in a different way is also acceptable


Digital Health & CareAPPROVALS PROCESS

An assessment of services is undertaken by our external ISO Qualified Assessment Team, HLS Healthcare.

Assessments are risk-based, with different levels of ‘Non-conformities’.
