Session 1 | (Re)designing Digital Health and Social Care This opening session sets the scene and starts the discussion around innovation in health and social care and the implementation of Scotland’s Digital Health & Care Strategy. It will feature an outside perspective, in addition to those involved in the integration of health and social care in Scotland. In doing so, this session explores how we are taking a clear, national approach to person-centred service redesign that must deliver value as well as efficiency to service users. |
09:30 | Opening Address Caroline Lamb, Director of Digital Reform & Service Engagement for Health & Care, Scottish Government |

10:00 | Health and Care Digital Evolution and Transformation in Scotland – Supporting Two-speed Change
Health and Care faces a dichotomy. On the one hand it needs to manage a part of its business focussed on predictability and another on exploration and innovation. These two parts of the business have fundamentally different needs in the way technology needs to support them and in development approaches. How should Scotland ensure that these two separate, but coherent styles of work effectively co-exist without duplication of effort and lead to successful digital evolution and transformation?
David Hancock, Health Executive Advisor, InterSystems |

Session 2 | Breakout Sessions In a series of 40-minute interactive workshops, delegates will learn key insights into the applications of the latest innovative solutions delivered by leading experts in the field. Delegates will select two masterclasses to attend prior to the event. |
Breakout A with Vocera: Strategies to Reduce Cognitive Overload and Improve Patient Safety Thousands of people die in hospitals each year because of medical errors. A combination of stress, fatigue, interruptions, incessant alerts and alarms, multiple demands, and shifting priorities can all lead to cognitive overload among clinicians, which can lead to mistakes. It is critical for healthcare leaders to proactively find solutions that simplify clinical workflows and make the lives of nurses, physicians and care team members easier. Doing so will help improve patient care, safety and experience. In this session, Dr. Rhonda Collins will discuss how cognitive load becomes overload and how to identify the signs, behaviours and risks. She also will outline a strategy to mitigate administrative and cognitive burdens among clinicians and explain how to offload nurses’ needs to retrieve, retain, and record information, making it easier to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively. Dr Rhonda Collins DNP, RN, FAAN, Chief Nursing Officer, Vocera Communications | |
Breakout B: “Just Give Me The Right information!” – Taking The 1st Steps Towards An Integrated Care Service with Totalmobile The goal of integrated care can be achieved, not just by sharing information, but by sharing of the right information. This interactive session will look at how mobile technology can drive improvements in this area, ensuring that health and care professionals are empowered with the relevant tools to deliver quality care and ultimately improve the service user’s experience and outcomes. By asking the question “what information do you need to access to deliver an integrated care service?” and highlighting the work of several innovative health and care organisations across Scotland; this session will help get you started on your journey towards delivering a comprehensive integrated care service. Rob McCrea, Regional Director - Scotland, Totalmobile | |
