- This briefing examines how technology can underpin a series of changes enabling primary care to meet the challenges of tight funding, a medical workforce shortage, more complex patients and the demand for seven day access.
- It looks towards a possible future in which general practice operates at scale; functions as one with other organisations; and delivers care through a diverse range of professionals.
- The report draws on six case study sites using new technologies:
- Modality Partnership (formerly Vitality): Improving access to care
- AT Medics: Using technology to support education and training
- West Wakefield: Using technology to support skill mix change
- Better Together – Mid-Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Transformation
- Programme: Realising efficiencies through workforce management
- VitruCare: Patient empowerment and remote monitoring
- South Somerset Symphony: Integration and coordination of care
