What Job Planning Data Tells Us About Workforce Productivity and Safer Care

Описание: Welcome to The Connection: Where Tech Meets Humanity in Healthcare podcast, brought to you by RLDatix.

In this insightful live episode from Patient Safety Congress in Manchester, Liz Jones and Darren Kilroy tackle one of healthcare's most critical challenges: improving productivity whilst maintaining and enhancing patient safety. Following RLDatix's groundbreaking research with NHS England on consultant job planning, they explore why the answers lie not just in data, but in combining quantitative evidence with qualitative clinical insight.

What You'll Learn:
Why NHS productivity problems aren't about part-time working, but about how clinical work has fundamentally changed
How combining data with clinical insight reveals what to do next, not just what happened
The power of five-minute proactive interventions in preventing hours of reactive investigation
Why small actions like reading a falls policy can prevent patient harm and massive downstream admin burden
How technology can give teams the ability to see danger before it strikes, even when circumstances can't change
The critical importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration between finance, clinical and risk teams
Why productivity, patient safety and quality are everyone's responsibility

This conversation reveals how clinical complexity has increased, how senior clinicians' time is being consumed by necessary but non-elective activities, and most importantly, how small technological interventions can fundamentally shift healthcare from reactive investigation to proactive prevention.

Liz Jones serves as Chief Customer Officer at RLDatix, bringing extensive healthcare transformation experience. Darren Kilroy, Medical Director at RLDatix and former NHS consultant, combines clinical expertise with data-driven improvement to drive meaningful change across healthcare systems.
