We are delighted that our Community Stroke team has been shortlisted alongside Isla (a visual technology solution) In the Health Tech Newspaper (HTN) Now Awards 2023 in the Best Health Tech Solution of the year and Health Tech Digital Pathway and Workflow Optimisation categories.

We have been shortlisted in the awards for how we use a visual technology solution called ‘Isla’ to share patient data between the Trust and our local hospitals, to support the continuation of care in stroke rehabilitation. The use of Isla has supported the sharing of relevant information to a patient’s stroke rehabilitation journey. This has included videos and images shared from ward to community to support timely and effective discharge home.

Becky Sutton, Chief Operating Officer said:

I am delighted to see this important partnership with Isla recognised in these national awards. Isla has proven to be a really important tool to ensure stroke patients receive the best possible care in their recovery, by enabling us to share information across the health care community. Well done to all involved, wishing them the best of luck for the next stage.

Stroke rehabilitation is a complex patient pathway involving several multi-disciplinary teams, so it is integral to have a secure and reliable mechanism for capturing and sharing data between organisations. The ability to review videos provides rich patient context and gives patients the opportunity to contribute directly to their care record and review, alongside their clinicians, their progress over time.

Frankie Cook, Service Transformation Lead said:

Our work with Isla has made a significant impact in how community services deliver patient care in partnership with acute care. The application of Isla across stroke care has provided us with an opportunity to think differently in how we interact with our acute partners and how we can collectively work together to ensure that the patient journey from the hospital bed to home is seamless. As a community provider Notts Healthcare is proud to be recognised through the HTN Awards, as it is testimony to our collaboration with Isla and the wider healthcare community to make a real difference to patient care.
