We are delighted to invite you to join the webinar, "How Apps Can Deliver Value, Efficiency and Engagement in Healthcare Technology". This webinar takes place on Thursday 9th February 2023 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM (GMT).
Matt O'Donovan, CEO, and James Morriss, Director of Business Development, detail how apps can influence everyone in a hospital, saving money, improving efficiency, and reducing patient isolation.
SPARK®, a digitally inclusive solution, is the conduit for creating ROI and driving efficiencies through personal and bedside technology. With over 65,300 apps available to enrich the lives of staff and patients, the infinite possibility for change is just over the Horizon.
In this webinar, we outline the huge potential for applications at the bedside and how just four apps can save the NHS over £600M a year.
- Realise the value and opportunity in existing Hospedia infrastructure and being able to utilise this to save cost and deliver digital transformation at the bedside.
- Understand the potential to proactively solve existing problems such as bed blocking and freeing up staff time to increase efficiencies.
- Understand how this solution will better inform and educate patients and empower them on their healthcare journey.
