Workforce Initiative of the Year, Proud2bOps (hosted by Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust)
This community of NHS operational leaders committed to ‘learning and providing idea exchange,’ as well as ‘fostering a safe haven of trust, respect and confidentiality’ for their peers, and provided a protected space’ for operational managers to ‘engage and connect’ with their colleagues in a safe developmental way – outside of task focussed performance meetings.
Technology Solution of the Year, Florence
In creating an interconnected tech solution, Florence helped social care workers and organisations manage their shifts, training and work schedules, quickly and easily through their three products: Florence Flex, a staff marketplace app; Florence Rota, a rota software; and Florence Academy, a learning management system.
Research Study of the Year ORCHA, The impact of COVID-19 on web-based internet searches for Digital Health Products
The ORCHA (Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Apps) research highlighted an increase in internet searches for Digital Health Products (DHPs) during the pandemic, which resulted in the creation of a free COVID-19-support app library for NHS staff and the public, and a free online digital health training academy.
Best Example of Efficiencies, Healthcare Communications
In support of Manchester University NHS FT, Healthcare Communications assisted the trust with the clinical prioritisation and validation of its elective waiting lists in order to meet targets set out in the Clinical Prioritisation Programme (CPP) — the third wave of NHS response to COVID-19.
Patient Improvement and Innovation, Doctify
This leading healthcare review platform enables healthcare providers to collect and publish patient feedback online in order to promote trust and transparency.
Excellence in Communication and Engagement, Medway NHS Foundation Trust
Medways FT’s roll out of their Electronic Patient Record (EPR) to 24 wards and 1000 users, in less than five months, provided doctors and nurses with the opportunity to become familiar and proficient at using the electronic system, where strong communication between the clinical and programme teams was maintained.
Most Promising Pilot, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Working with NHSX and Polygeist, the trust developed a machine-learning algorithm that can predict a patient’s length of stay from the moment of their arrival at hospital.
Best COVID-19 Project Team, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Operating in completely new ways during COVID-19, the trust worked collaboratively with clinical colleagues to create digital solutions to problems presented by the pandemic – such as Paper Lite, a system through which medical record papers could be digitised.
SME of the Year, Redmoor Health
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Redmoor Health supported front line health and care professionals get the best use out of technology through their coaching and training programme.
A HUGE well done to all the inspiring teams involved!
