Digital transformation solutions to be showcased at P4H England

Distec, a specialist technology solutions provider, has announced that it will be exhibiting at P4H England 2023, England’s NHS procurement event, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham on 12 July 2023.

P4H England brings together buyers and suppliers from the healthcare sector. It provides extensive skills development, networking, collaboration and product demonstration opportunities for those who work in, or wish to join, the UK healthcare procurement market.

Distec will be performing in partnership with healthcare solutions provider Advantech. Distec and Advantec supply medical-grade computers, medical carts, clinical monitors, medical tablets and digital signage suitable for all healthcare environments.

The UK healthcare system is at a crossroads. It is widely accepted that digital transformation and the implementation of new innovative technologies will have a positive impact on the efficiency of the sector. However, more efforts should be made to improve the current digital processes.

For example, the British Medical Association (BMA) estimates that 27% of NHS clinicians lose more than four hours a week due to inadequate IT systems. Furthermore, the healthcare sector is a common target for cybercriminals, so the need to update outdated IT infrastructure and prioritize digital transformation is obvious.

In response, the NHS recently announced a package of deals worth over £1 billion to provide a range of new digital services to general practice and the wider primary care sector. A suite of frameworks will cover multiple platforms to support core electronic patient record (EPR) systems as well as audiovisual tools for digital care services such as remote consultations and appointment management systems.

Hisham El Dada, Principal Account Manager, Advantech iHealthcare, said: “We are excited to participate at P4H England 2023 with our partner Distec. This is a great opportunity to showcase the systems and solutions that we believe can accelerate digital transformation and positively impact patient outcomes in the healthcare sector. We look forward to meeting attendees and showcasing the benefits of adopting innovative digital solutions.

Through its partnership with Advantech, Distec is driving digital transformation in public and private healthcare. It aims to provide solutions that help healthcare professionals and institutions reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and enhance patient care.
