Beyond the hospital: How boards can lead the digital shift to neighbourhood working
Legacy and toxic technology
Many NHS trusts and other healthcare providers still rely on aging, or 'legacy' IT systems and infrastructure that cannot support the demands of a mobile, data-intensive neighbourhood model (e.g. poor Wi-Fi, outdated hardware).
Boards may wish to consider whether:
- There has been a recent audit to identify whether current infrastructure can support neighbourhood working.
- There is a plan in place to upgrade and implement necessary infrastructure and hardware, including ensuring latest security controls are in place.
