Every day, NHS Trusts and social care providers struggle with fragmented pathways, inconsistent communication, and avoidable delays. These siloes slow down discharge, delay care in the community, and create unnecessary risk for patients and for the wider system.
At Enovation, we already work across organisations in Health and Social Care, supporting NHS Trusts, Local authorities and community providers. Our mission is simple: enable collaboration through integrated, digital solutions. The solutions to today’s problems already exist and can help the NHS and it’s patients across England and Wales.
Supporting the NHS Long Term Plan and ICS priorities
The NHS is shifting towards care delivered at home and in the community, supported by Virtual Wards, intermediate care services, Same Day Emergency Care and Neighbourhood Teams.
To make this shift safely and sustainably, the system needs integrated digital solutions that:
- Bridge organisational boundaries
- Reduce failure demand
- Improve patient flow
- Support elective recovery
- Empower patients to manage their own care
Enovation Transfer and Patient Journey do exactly that.
The cost of delay & the opportunity to transform it
The NHS and it’s patients need the right digital tools to ensure this transition is safe and offers a better experience than regular care.
Delayed discharge and transfers of care continue to burden the system.
According to recent reports (Why the NHS wastes billions on patients who shouldn’t be in hospital – BBC News), around 13,000 of patients remain in hospital beds longer than clinically necessary because community or social care support isn’t ready.
With a hospital bed costing £562 per day, the NHS loses more than £225 million per month supporting patients who could be better cared for elsewhere, while elective recovery and emergency flow suffer. Add to this the patients who suffer due to lack of system coordination across an organisation or region and this number is higher again.
These pressures ripple into the entire system, causing:
- Cancelled surgeries
- Overcrowded EDs
- Stretched community teams
- Patients waiting weeks for the right care
At Enovation, we lead the way in solving this challenge. Our integrated solutions, Enovation Transfer and Patient Journey, work together to streamline discharge processes and empower patients to recover confidently at home. These integrated digital tools help NHS teams free up beds, reduce readmissions, and deliver truly connected care. With over 10 years’ experience of delivering these solutions, we can help guide you through the process from initial discovery call to implementation and go live.
