HSJ Feature – How Managing Data Effectively now is vital for Elective Care Recovery post COVID-19

/in /by

As NHS leaders begin to think about recovery after the pandemic, it is vital to take appropriate actions now to prepare for the expected growth in elective waiting times and the potential impact on patient safety, writes Acumentice Founder Karina Malhotra in the HSJ.

The challenges Trusts will face, as well as some of the most effective actions we are working with our partners on to help aid their recovery are discussed.
