Revolutionising the framework that connects patients with healthcare providers, that creates a safety net, and that drives efficiency at scale isn’t about big flashy ideas or brave experiments. It’s about a trusted hand to support our partners in healthcare. It’s about experience and rigour. It’s about expertise.

When you need scalable healthcare technology that advances you and your patients, we get the tech stack right. Because lives depend on it.

The pandemic may have brought unprecedented disruption to the healthcare industry, but those challenges existed before its arrival. An ageing population has accelerated demand and stretched healthcare providers beyond their capacity.

As a result, we’re seeing large variations in the availability and delivery of healthcare, with public policy solutions differing across regulatory environments, payment and reimbursement systems, all of which are contributing to the fragmentation of the industry.

Our team at the Centre of Healthcare Excellence worked with some of our key healthcare customers to review this ever-changing landscape, looking at five key healthcare technology trends and the challenges they bring:

• The Modern Workplace
• Cyber Security
• The Electronic Health Records
• Imaging and Data
• Medical Devices and Artificial Intelligence

At the heart of a truly connected healthcare system is the need for reliable, secure and effective Electronic Patient/Health Records (EPR/EHR). And in our experience, most healthcare customers need a trusted partner to successfully leverage and maximise significant EHR investment.

Telefónica Tech partners with brilliant CIOs and CTOs to make this simple and efficient – from dealing with the complex set-up, configuration and release cycles to application hosting and application integration support, minimising the pressure on networks and security.

Telefónica Tech is a proven Epic Hosting Partner, with many accredited Epic resources within our rapidly growing Epic practice. We demystify downstream complexity and bring expert skills that NHS Trusts and other providers may struggle to resource and keep. Our experts underpin delivery against aggressive timescales during deployment phases and upgrade demands.

Working collaboratively, we make sure our customers are provided with hosted environments that deliver on all the needs of healthcare providers, from efficiencies and cost savings through to improved patient outcomes.
