The Suspicion of Sepsis (SOS) Insights Dashboard

Kenny Ajayi
Director
Patient Safety at Imperial College Health Partners
The SOS Dashboard enables NHS staff to improve patient care and reduces potential harm by – for the first time ever – providing consistent, accurate and reliable data on sepsis outcomes. It saves healthcare professional’s time by making the data freely and easily accessible in a usable format and provides relevant data which can be intelligently applied with precision to improve the quality of patient care. Local teams determine which methods work best over time, and which may need to be spread more widely across a region or nationally. It will ultimately help to better plan and prepare local services potentially saving lives across the country.

Richard Jones
Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer
C2-Ai
Avoidable harm and mortality cost the NHS £2bn annually to fix, but the actual figure is likely to be far higher as monitoring/reporting in a typical hospital only picks up 10% of what the World’s most sophisticatedAI-backed systems can detect. This presentation will touch on examples of improvements of the award-winning improvements, and cost savings (£m’s per hospital) driven by these insights.

Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust
Healthcare has been affected immensely from the coronavirus pandemic. At BSMHFT we are reviewing how we responded and are still responding in the view to help us understand what went well, what could be done better and what have we learned. We have utilised QI methodology in our approach to see how we can understand the views from as many teams and individuals as we can to capture & evaluate changes to the organisation due to COVID 19. We are determining impact whilst using the findings to shape service provision for a response to a possible COVID 19 Wave 2, and the new business as usual. In addition, we are in the middle of our Trust Strategy relaunch, so this a pivotal opportunity for some elements to be incorporated within this.

I worked with Convenzis, primarily Dan, for the first time this year, putting together a bespoke online event for IBM. He has always been so responsive and accommodating. The team always remained professional and helpful – despite the many demands from our side! They were very keen for us to maximise on the investment and revisit those attendees who had not committed to follow ups.
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Convenzis and I know there will be more opportunities next year. Looking forward to it!
