Recommendations:

✅ Invest in building data analytics teams within trusts to enable effective data utilisation. ✅ Prioritise funding for EPR maintenance, infrastructure development, and staff training.

5️⃣ Collaboration: Partnerships between NHS trusts, academia, and industry are vital to leverage expertise, funding, and accelerate progress. I would add #hospice too in this.

4️⃣ Patient Engagement: Involving patients in co-designing solutions and obtaining consent for data use is essential for building trust and ensuring solutions meet patient needs. Really important for ePaCCS

3️⃣ AI Integration: A strategic approach is needed for AI implementation. Focus on identifying specific problems and then finding suitable AI solutions, rather than adopting AI for its own sake. Will the LLM help to clinically code?

2️⃣ Workforce Training: Comprehensive training for staff on using EPRs effectively, including shortcuts and data coding, is crucial to maximise benefits and avoid inefficiencies. IMO it is usually only a one off event.

1️⃣ Data Maturity: Many NHS trusts lack digital maturity due to insufficient funding for EPR maintenance and infrastructure development. This leads to difficulties in extracting and using data effectively., even bigger in the third sector.

The NHS has made progress in digital transformation, particularly with electronic patient records (EPRs). However, the podcast argues a bottom-up approach is crucial for further advancement. We are the input.

3️⃣ However, there was confusion about the distinction between palliative rehabilitation and palliative care.
November 27, 2024 at 9:13 AM
2️⃣ Stakeholders agreed on the core components of palliative rehabilitation, viewing it as a holistic, goal-oriented approach to enhance the quality of life for patients with incurable cancer.
November 27, 2024 at 9:13 AM
1️⃣ Only 12 out of 23 official documents described rehabilitation in the context of palliative care. 📋
