Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, What plans his Department has to roll out TeleTracking technologies across the NHS.

Many National Health Service trusts are considering implementing Patient Workflow Systems to improve patient flow throughout the hospital and patient pathway. Several trusts already have a patient workflow system in place from various providers. TeleTracking is one of the providers of this technology and has been piloted by four sites across the NHS. Work is underway with NHS Digital to develop a national specification and framework that will simplify the process for providers or Sustainability and Transformation Partnership areas to choose a workflow system to improve patient flow. The intention is to have multiple suppliers on that framework.
