The King’s Fund has published a report on interoperability, digitalhealth.net has reported. The report, based on a literature review and interviews, has concluded that interoperability has three aspects that must align for success: good working relationships, technology that supports them, and an enabling environment “in which funding, capacity, skills, education and governance are aligned.” UKCloud has been put into liquidation after a winding up order was made against it and its parent company, Virtual Infrastructure Group, digitalhealth.net has reported. UKCloud had three trading brands, one of which was UKCloud Health, which attempted to support NHS digitisation strategies.
DigitalHealth.London is open for applications to its latest Launchpad programme for London-based, early-stage companies with ideas for transforming health and care, Health Tech Newspaper has reported. HTN itself is looking for judges for the HTN Now Awards 2023. An app has been launched to help people with hearing or speech impairments who use British Sign Language to make 999 calls, digitalhealth.net has reported. People who want to use the BSL 999 service need to launch a website or app that connects them to a BSL interpreter by video call. The interpreter then calls the emergency services and relays the conversation. |
