Mid and South Essex NHS Trust, along with Diligram, the developers of MyStaff App, have been shortlisted for two awards. This is in two categories; the "Best Contribution to Improving the Efficiency of NHS Services" and the "Best Technology Partnership of the Year" at the HSJ Partnership Awards. The MyStaff App allows staff to access policies, procedures, and care guidelines in one convenient place on mobile devices or PCs at the Trust, with more than 12,000 staff regularly using the AI-driven platform.
This makes it quicker for clinicians to search for this information to support their patients, with projections indicating that the app could release 55,000 hours’ worth of time over three years. The app also allows staff to send information directly to patients using a QR code or by email. Sarah Wellings, Document Control Manager at the Trust, said: “We hope our entry will inspire other healthcare providers to adopt similar technologies.
"This will ultimately enhance the quality of care for patients and support national plans over the next ten years to digitise the NHS.” The winners will be announced in March 2025..
