Content management leader SynApps Solutions to exhibit at key networking event for clinicians on the GNCR topic

Hatfield, UK, 17 November 2017 – Content management leader SynApps Solutions is delighted to announce it will be exhibiting at the The Great North Care Record (GNCR) network launch event late this month.

The event for health care clinicians, scheduled for Newcastle Racecourse, NE2 5PH on Tuesday, November 28, 9am-1pm, will provide a useful opportunity to see how technology-supported information sharing has enabled change and improved patient care across the North East and North Cumbria.

SynApps has been invited thanks to its strong track record in the UK healthcare market, helping clinicians through content management system solutions to help with their data. SynApps healthcare customers include Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, London’s Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust and Northampton General Hospital, amongst others.

Why GNCR Matters

The Great North Care Record project is all about improving the way patient information is shared, with patient consent, as a way to improve care and helping the NHS to run more efficiently.

Phase one of GNCR rollout is complete, with 11,000 views of GP records in secondary care each month, while phase two will mean all health and care settings involved in a patient’s care will have the ability to instantly access and share real-time patient information.

GNCR is the focus for this special networking event, which aims to bring together clinicians (working across a range of healthcare settings), social care practitioners and research colleagues to share ideas about how the Great North Care Record can improve patient care, and which SynApps is delighted to be a part of.

Confirmed speakers for the event include senior healthcare policymakers and experts, as well as NHS Trust chief executives from across the North east region.

A Forum For Detailed Discussion

“We look forward to understanding more about what lessons can be shared by other practitioners in both the NHS and social care, as well as to opening up conversations about how best to use technology to achieve those information sharing goals,” said SynApps Solutions’ Head of Healthcare, Gary Britnell.

SynApps Partners With GeoLang

04

Maidenhead, UK, 2 October 2017 – Content management leader SynApps Solutions has today announced a partnership with UK based cyber security solution providers GeoLang in a deal to achieve true synergy between Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and leading-edge security.

GeoLang is the company behind the award-winning Ascema platform, software that provides an easily deployable, next generation DLP (data loss prevention) and classification solution. Ascema can detect where high value data resides within File Servers and Endpoints, plus protect and remediate on data as it flows around enterprise authorised applications on premise and in the cloud.

This deal will help the evolution to cloud, say the partners. That’s because as more organisations start to exploit IT services via this method, the need to know where data resides and to be able to protect it is paramount. It’s also growing, as the UK Data Protection Act and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation come into force next May.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with the team at the leading edge UK tech firm, and we’re really impressed by the team’s deep expertise,” notes SynApps Solutions’ Joint CEO, Mark Winstone.

“Thanks to this strategic partnership, our clients will be able to strengthen their security and better safeguard their digital content management assets against growing security threats.”

GeoLang’s CEO, Dr Debbie Garside, adds, “As part of our ongoing market expansion strategy we are looking to grow our relationships with specialist partners such as SynApps who really understand the enterprise content management space.

“We are excited that SynApps, a real leader specialist in British ECM market, has chosen to work with us in order to add significant value to its customer solutions set.”

Stabilising NHS IT: How ECM Could Play A Vital Role

26

Ultimately we have to re-stabilise NHS IT following the WannaCry malware attack  and ensure it’s totally bulletproof from now on.

That’s the practical message from SynApps Solutions’s Head of Healthcare, Gary Britnell, who’s taken a sobering look at the situation the NHS is left in after this month’s malware attack that left many Trusts and GP surgeries offline.

This is a problem that needs the joint, smart thinking and collaboration of the NHS, the Department of Health and the supplier base, he says.

The key to that stabilising process has to be modernisation. It’s definitely time to upgrade hospital architecture, he argues, while better adherence to standards and great software design will help.

A key player here could be ECM-powered NHS content platforms, he says, as ECM version control, encryption at rest to stop unauthorised access will promote better security and reliability of healthcare systems across the board.

Finally, ECM content is stored in the server and separated from the desktop, which always helps guard against intrusion like WannaCry.

Head of our Healthcare Practice Gary Britnell was asked by this important UK IT sector publication to outline the best response by the UK health IT community to Secretary of Health Jeremy Hunt’s recent apparent dismissal of the importance of NHS paperless targets.

From 2013 on, the Health Secretary and his Department stressed the imperative to get the NHS fully paperless by 2018. But earlier this month, what many in the sector took to be a dismissal of the whole campaign by the Secretary came to light, who told the NHS Sustainability cross-party committee of MPs he was “quite relieved most people seem to have forgotten” the whole idea.

For Gary, NHS IT leaders should instead look at the great progress to paperless made so far, and indeed mull over the idea that 2018 might well remain a realistic target for some ambitious Trusts when it comes to going digital. He also discusses how getting to the NHS we need is not going to be easy, but practical techniques like the integrated digital care record (IDCR) are emerging as a great way to get there.

The good news is that once we have this in place, says SynApps, we will be able to do great things in the NHS, such as route information without any need for re-keying or asking the patient the same questions, allow collation of data for better analysis of the bigger trends, programmatic search, and so on – as well as head off patient data loss that can put lives at risk.
