Inadequate IT partly to blame for NHS doctors losing 13.5 million working hours

Re: Confused..

That report conflates 2 things. Asking the leading question 'do you have completely the necessary equipment to perform their job role' and getting 11% say yes - well who has 'completely the necessary equipment'? Then the other question, which unless the Doctors are now magically enterprise analysts they're not especially well qualified to answer, is that digital transformation will fix everything. 57% reckoned improved IT would have a significant impact in sorting backlogs from Covid - how exactly?

Having spoken to a fair few NHS professionals lack of seamless NHS interoperability is an issue very rarely (when someone with a complex condition goes out of area and then needs treatment) and for the most part details are to hand.

If I walked down the street and asked 100 random people if their IT was not completely 'good', I'd be surprised if 11% said yes.

Usual crock from the BMA.
