BT Mobile Health Worker

Web ref - 60163

Save money and boost productivity

How much time do your health workers waste while they’re out of the office? BT Mobile Health Worker makes those gaps between appointments much more productive by giving health workers access to their patients’ records and clinical information outside the office so they can catch up on paperwork and give on-the-spot diagnoses.

Get a return on your investment
For each health worker, you could save between £250 and £480 a week through factors like lower travel costs and saving time that would otherwise be wasted.

Improve patient experience
Having more information on hand reduces unnecessary hospital admissions and protects patients from misdiagnosis.

Keep your health workers happy
Workers will have more control and they won’t be tied to the office. Plus they’ll be able to get admin out of the way en route to appointments, so there’s less to do at the end of the day.

Be more productive
By improving the way your people communicate, getting patient records electronically, cutting travel, and avoiding cancelled appointments, you could be around 30 per cent more productive.

Get help when you need it
Our experts will help you make the change at your own speed. You’ll get one bill, and you’ll be able to call our helpdesk with any worries. Plus, if any of your equipment breaks down, we’ll replace it the next business day.

“Providing incredible value and showing commitment throughout the project, BT really is a great company to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending BT to other trusts considering a similar project.”
– Trevor Wright, Associate Director of Informatics, NHS North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire Care Trust Plus

Tackling issues, reaping benefits

The NHS is facing some tough targets. Less money for care. People living longer. Fewer people starting careers in health work. We think Mobile Health Worker is a big step towards tackling these issues, and reaping some extra benefits besides.

We’ve already helped a number of NHS organisations set up Mobile Health Worker, and at the moment more than 4,000 community nurses use the service.

And we don’t just supply the technology and leave. Our experts manage the service for you and give you help over the phone if you need it.

Technical specs

A secure service that suits the way you work

It’s secure
BT Mobile Health Worker is easy to use and when combined with N3 – the NHS National Network – provides fast and secure access to patient records.

It’s flexible
We provide all the hardware, software, connectivity and support. And we can offer a variety of equipment, from standard kit to laptops built to withstand knocks and scrapes. We set up the laptops and test them to make sure they suit the way you work.

It works
Tens of thousands of our own engineers use this technology every day. We’ve created it keeping in mind what we know about the challenges mobile health workers face. It’s knowledge we’ve built up from setting up the NHS NPfIT (National Programme for Information Technology), and successfully deploying Mobile Health Worker for more than 4,000 community workers.
