Press release October 28, 8:00 AM GMT
e18 Innovation (e18), part of the Digital Workforce Services (DWF) group, is delighted to announce a new partnership with NHS Humber Health Partnership (HHP), one of the largest healthcare providers in the NHS. Under this exciting new automation programme, e18 will deliver an ambitious outpatient transformation plan designed to free up more than 26,000 hours of staff time each year, and generate circa £1m of tangible financial savings over the three year contract.
NHS Humber Health Partnership brings together Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLaG), employing more than 19,000 staff and serving a population of 1.5 million people across the Humber region.
Working in collaboration, e18 Innovation and Digital Workforce will deliver five core outpatient administration processes across the two Trusts, which will be deployed using UiPath’s automation technology, hosted and maintained from DWF’s market-leading, multi-vendor ‘Outsmart Go’ platform.
Louise Wall, Managing Director of e18 Innovation, said:
“We’re thrilled to be working with Humber Health Partnership on a programme that showcases the real, measurable value of automation in the NHS. HHP is a huge organisation, and we are excited to start delivering organisational transformation that improves patient care, delivers cash-releasing savings, and releases staff time for the group.”
Jussi Vasama, CEO of Digital Workforce Services, added:
“We are delighted to be welcoming another NHS customer into our community, and onto our ‘Outsmart Go’ platform – which gives NHS organisations access to an enterprise-grade, multi-vendor, fully managed cloud environment. We are also grateful to our longstanding technology partner, UiPath, for their support on this engagement, and look forward to jointly delivering value at scale”.
Matt Hogarth, Director, Healthcare UK&I at UiPath, said:
