North Tees and Hartlepool NHS FT is to launch a project this month to deploy Navenio’s location workforce technology.
Navenio, a spin-out of Oxford University, is providing its location-based hospital workforce platform, termed Uber for Healthcare, the technology tracks smartphone devices to provide an indoor location solution.
Last month HTN reported Royal Cornwall NHS Trust adopted the technology as part of its digital transformation strategy.
The programme at North Tees and Hartlepool will be delivered by NTH Solutions, the provider of estates and facilities services to the trust. It will focus on portering initially, with a view to rolling out across multiple service lines including cleaning, security and asset location.
The newly available data from the Navenio solution will be integrated into a performance monitoring system which the trust said will allow for accurate KPIs to be drawn together.
Mike Worden, Managing Director at NTH Solutions, said: “At this time where organisations are under pressure to do more with less, it’s technology like this that will really help us lead the way in making improvements and proving their value. I’m excited about achieving our goals and working with the Navenio team to help us become a truly data-led organisation, enabling us to offer a safe and efficient service to our patients at the Trust.”
Tim Weil, CEO of Navenio, added: “It’s great to see our platform being implemented to transform the way NHS trusts operate to become more efficient and agile organisations. I am looking forward to working with NTH Solutions and North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust to help them make their goals a reality, and provide them with the data they require moving forward.”
