Empowering a digital social care workforce: Accenture, NHS Digital and Healthy London Partnership

An initiative to help care homes to get an NHSmail address, to add speedy communication with hospitals and GPs, led to a 14-fold increase in the number of homes with one within six months. This offered cost savings for the NHS through better co-ordination of care, time savings for care homes as staff no longer had to chase nurses and doctors by phone but could email them instead – and crucially expect to get a response, and ultimately helped to drive a more integrated health and social care system.
