  • Blueprint for Transformation

    Luton and Dunstable Hospital faced a challenge common to most Public Sector organisations: how to do more with less? Initially, Luton’s priority was to modernise its ageing infrastructure. But in the longer term, they needed a digital roadmap to push boundaries and maximise investment.

     

    Now, with a secure Hybrid Cloud, hosted in our Data Centre, Luton has the power to securely access patient data on demand. Additionally, they can fine tune capacity to public or private clouds with a simple click via our cloud management portal.

Performance has Soared

This improvement in latency has made a big difference. With increased performance medics can now access systems across any device. In turn, this helps them provide more efficient diagnostics and treatment on-the-move.

 

IT operations have also been streamlined. For example, rolling out software and upgrades to 4,000+ staff used to take weeks. But now, this usually takes days. And Luton are taking even bolder steps with investment saved.  An integrated patient portal, and Facebook-style apps are just two further innovations designed to improve patient access and care.

 

Together, we have created a Hybrid Cloud example and blueprint for other NHS trusts to follow.
