Job Advert
Please note this post is Fixed Term for 24 months
The job exists to support the evaluation of the development, delivery and implementation of the Technology Enabled Care programme supporting the delivery Lanarkshire Healthcare Strategy, ‘Achieving Excellence’ (2017), the Primary Care Improvement plan, Modernising Outpatients and Lanarkshire Digital health strategy.
The overall aim of these strategies is to oversee the implementation of digitally modernised, redesigned and integrated health & social care services responsive to the needs of the local population by ensuring the highest quality of care within the financial resources available.
In the development of new ways of working in primary and secondary care we are in diagnostic and testing phase to examine other clinical and service models, adopting an approach that places the person at the centre of care, dismantles the traditional interfaces, utilises the entire assets within communities and directs professionals to where they may have the most significant impact on patient care. Our approach acknowledges that it is no longer acceptable to simply tinker at the edges of care; for this to have an impact that is likely to have the necessary effect, a truly transformational approach to developing new models of care incorporating digital solutions is required.
The scope and scale of our approach in Lanarkshire must be viewed as transformational and a whole-system change process. It is aligned with and complements work that is taking place in parallel to shape NHS Lanarkshire’s Healthcare Strategy, Joint Commissioning Strategies in both North and South Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnerships, consider services across a 24/7 time continuum and be consistent with approaches already being implemented in other parts of the system.
The post advertised is a key role within a dedicated Technology Enabled Care team, linked into a system wide strategic approach to delivering Lanarkshire’s digital future.
The programme is delivering on a number of National TEC programme funded initiatives using remote health monitoring and video consultations.
