Enhancing NHS Efficiency and Patient Care with vCreate’s Secure Clinical Video Management Solution

In the evolving landscape of healthcare, the NHS is continually seeking solutions to streamline processes, improve patient outcomes, and reduce operational costs. vCreate’s Secure Clinical Video Management platform emerges as a powerful tool to help meet these goals, offering a cloud-based approach to clinical video management.  

Designed with direct integration into Electronic Patient Records (EPRs), this solution is transforming how healthcare providers manage, access, and utilise clinical videos and images—especially valuable in environments where quick, accurate diagnosis and seamless care coordination are paramount. 

A Seamless, Cloud-Integrated Video Management Solution for Healthcare 

vCreate’s Secure Clinical Video Management platform provides single sign-on integration with FHIR-enabled EPRs, allowing patients and clinicians to upload videos, photos, and other clinical data directly into the medical record. This cloud-based platform means NHS Trusts no longer need extensive on-premise hardware or specialised technical teams to manage video content; everything is handled through an optimally secured cloud infrastructure, which significantly reduces overhead and increases accessibility. 

Internally generated clinical videos—such as endoscopies, surgical recordings, and patient-uploaded footage—can be easily accessed from any device within the Trust’s EPR. This setup ensures that care teams have immediate access to essential multimedia data, which enhances the accuracy and speed of diagnostics. With an intuitive, single-click patient onboarding and a unified view of multimedia data across specialties, clinical teams can work more effectively and with fewer opportunities for error. 

Key Benefits for NHS Trusts: Efficiency, Scalability, and Enhanced Clinical Safety 

With simplified video handling and reduced need for on-site resources, vCreate’s platform addresses some of the most pressing challenges faced by NHS Trusts today. Key benefits include: 

• Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction: By eliminating the need for extensive on-premise video storage and management resources, NHS Trusts can scale operations more affordably. Additionally, cloud-based scalability ensures that resources can be easily expanded or contracted to meet fluctuating demands. 
• Enhanced Security and Compliance: Built on Microsoft Azure, vCreate offers advanced security features, including encryption-at-rest, Web Application Firewall, and threat protection. With certifications such as DTAC, DCB 0129 compliance, Cyber Essentials, and CREST-certified penetration testing, it aligns with NHS standards for clinical safety and data protection. 
• Precision Diagnostics and Improved Patient Care: Quick access to comprehensive patient data, including video and photo uploads, empowers clinicians to make faster, more informed decisions. As Professor Sameer Zuberi from The Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow, notes, “vCreate has transformed how we use carer-recorded video in our service, helping diagnose epilepsy more rapidly and accurately, preventing misdiagnosis, and enhancing the connection with families”  

Supporting Healthcare Teams Across Specialties 

The versatility of vCreate’s platform makes it invaluable across multiple medical specialties. For instance, in neurological care, video assessments can enable clinicians to diagnose conditions like epilepsy more effectively. According to a report by Healthcare Improvement Scotland, vCreate reduced patient waiting times by up to 90%—from 12 weeks to just 9 days—while saving an estimated £675 per patient in clinician time and resources. The integration of clinical video data directly within EPRs also supports seamless referrals and interdisciplinary collaboration without the need for additional logins or external systems. 

Looking Ahead: A Strategic Fit for the NHS Digital Transformation Agenda 

With its emphasis on secure, accessible, and scalable data management, vCreate aligns with the NHS’s digital transformation objectives. It offers Trusts the flexibility to adopt a Trust-wide or specialty-specific deployment, ensuring that they can tailor the solution to meet specific needs while optimising clinical efficiency and safety. 

By embracing vCreate’s Secure Clinical Video Management solution, NHS Trusts not only advance patient care but also make strides toward a sustainable, cloud-driven future that supports both clinicians and patients.
