David Beausang, (Commercial Director, Sláinte Healthcare) will be presenting on the topic ‘The Painless Path to a Paperless Hospital through Technology and Innovation’ on the second day of the conference. In this presentation David will be describing the challenges that Healthcare organisations face when moving to a paperless environment and how to ensure that the IP invested in existing systems are not put at risk or lost..

“Since 2011, across Ireland, UK, Middle East, US and Australia we have had a lot of engagement with Hospitals sites who have previously invested large amounts of money and time into implementing an Electronic Medical Record structure for their healthcare organisation which has failed to be adopted successfully by users such as clinicians, nurses, administration staff etc into the organisation. In my presentation I will explore this study, the challenges faced and also steps to on how to achieve a virtuous EMR. Also drop by our stand to view a live demonstration of our Vitro platform and to discuss how we can enable your Hospital to become paperless, commented David Beausang.”
