Description
The potential to deliver timely improvements to care at scale, and to improve operational efficiency to release resources for use in improving patient care, is one of the most exciting opportunities of our generation. This conference organised by the RSM Open Section is in association with the London Strategic Information Governance Networks’ Forum and the RSM Digital Health Section and Epidemiology and Public Health Section.This meeting aims to empower clinicians and other users of population health tools to confidently transform their use of data, to better help their patients, with key speakers Professor Sir Muir Gray who will be delivering keynote lecture ‘The vision for population health – The NHS long term plan’, Dr Simon Eccles, CCIO for Health and Care at NHSX, Dawn Monaghan, Head of Data Sharing & Privacy Unit for NHS England and Dr Bob Klaber OBE, Deputy Medical Director at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.Most health and care providers now use extensive electronic records, which means practitioners have a fantastic opportunity to process vast numbers of records at great speed. Done proactively, this enables practitioners to deliver illness prevention by identifying trends and characteristics that indicate a patient should be managed as part of a cohort or ‘population’ for a given condition. This can also help to identify outstanding screening and checks that provide valuable data to manage health proactively. Done retrospectively, this can identify critical anomalies that can be addressed. This meeting will: Reinforce what population health management is, what it is not, and its potential applicationsEmpower clinicians with the confidence to adopt these new toolsHelp you to understand the opportunities in the vision set out in the NHS Long Term PlanOutline the new NHSX’s role in supporting deliveryReview exemplary approaches to date, including co-production with patientsExplore the ethical dimensions and interplay between components such as the financial, clinical, legal and epidemiological considerationsReinforce best practice in information governance
