Four global digital exemplars shortlisted in new look EHI Awards

The EHI Awards have been revamped for 2017 with a new category added celebrating the best Global Digital Exemplar of the year.

Organised by Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions, the awards, now in their eleventh year, are dedicated to celebrating success in the UK healthcare IT industry

The four shortlisted GDE trusts are; Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust.

Teams from the four organisations will now attend a judging day on 30 October. In total, 49 individuals and organisations have been shortlisted in ten categories of this year’s awards, which are being co-located with the EHI Live conference and exhibition also for the first time.

The judging panel is led by Professor Jonathan Wallace with other panel members including Anne Cooper, NHS Digital; Dr Harpreet Sood, NHS England; and Ben Moody, Tech UK.

The awards will be presented on the first day of EHI Live 2017, which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham on 31 October and 1 November, with the presentation followed by a celebration drinks reception.

Wallace, professor of innovation at the School of Computing at Ulster University, said: “The EHI Awards 2017 are the only awards dedicated to healthcare IT. The EHI Awards have always attracted a strong set of entries reflecting the latest developments in health and care technology, and this year has been no exception.”

“The judges have already enjoyed learning about some of the great projects that are going on across the UK to improve the efficiency and safety of healthcare, and to support frontline staff and patients.”

“We now look forward to meeting the shortlisted entrants; and to seeing the winners presented with their awards at one of the highlights of this year’s EHI Live.”

The global digital exemplars programme was set up by NHS England following a review of NHS IT by US expert professor Robert Wachter. Sixteen acute trusts and seven mental health trusts were announced as global digital exemplars last year, and eighteen acute trusts were named as ‘fast followers’ earlier this month.

The global digital exemplars and their fast followers will deploy the very latest IT themselves and develop a blueprint for further trusts to follow.

Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust is University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s fast follower, and entered the awards for its work on a cardiology system.

Five individuals, teams or projects have been shortlisted in each category. EHI Live is the UK’s leading event for healthcare IT, and will celebrate its tenth edition by incorporating the awards for the first time, to help celebrate success in the industry.

The conference is organised around nine streams, including roundtable events for CCIOs and CIOs, a renewed focus on mental health, primary care and population health management.

The exhibition will feature more than 150 companies, showcasing leading products and ideas that are shaping the future of the healthcare industry.
