IT in the hospice sector

Hospice care in the cloud era.

Digital Transformation

In the hospice care sector, where primary focus is to provide comfort and dignity to patients in their final stages of life, technology plays a crucial yet often overlooked role. A robust IT infrastructure is essential for delivering high-quality services, ensuring that health providers can focus on what they do best - caring for their patients.

There is a surge of digital transformation in healthcare, and the landscape is evolving quickly. NHS England are transforming their native services to be more easily consumed via API, and any new developments must follow a set of agreed standards.

Cloud First

More than ever, health applications and services are being migrated to cloud to leverage benefits including cost, flexibility and scalability. This is mirrored in the government’s Cloud First policy, which recommends that public cloud should be considered before other alternatives. 

Essential HSCN Services

There is still work to do. Many essential healthcare services such EMIS, SystmOne, NHS Mail and GP Connect require a Health & Social Care Network (HSCN) Connection to access. This means organisations need to support a blended network ecosystem combining multiple connectivity methods and endpoints.

Answering your FAQ’s on Hospice care networks

The cloud is quickly becoming as an essential element in the hospice ecosystem, and is used for a range of purposes including data storage and application hosting.

Leveraging the cloud as a centralised record repository empowers hospice professionals with a unified source of truth to access patient information, including their history and available care pathways.

In a hospice setting, network reliability is critical. Uninterrupted access for sites and users to reach EPRs and applications ensures that providers can make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.

Downtime, latency problems or network failures can lead to delays in care, potentially affecting patient outcomes.

In any healthcare setting, protecting patient data is paramount, and hospices are no exception. Given the sensitive nature of end-of-life care, hospices have a legal duty to maintain confidentiality over the patient information they hold and process.

The risk of nation-state cyber attacks continues to rise, and the adoption of new technologies is increasing the potential attack surface. As a result, IT outages are expected to increase in frequency. Hospices must protect patient data during this turbulent period.
