A Centralised, Connected Digital Home for Community Care in the U.K.

RDUH is streamlining transfers of care by making care plans and assessments available in real time, enabling clinicians to send real-time messages about patient care, and improving the speed and visibility of referrals.

  • Created a network of knowledgeable staff across Devon to support change management and standardise workflows
