Bradford NHS first trust in Europe to launch AI command centre

Friday, 5 October 2018 07:00

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is collaborating with GE Healthcare to create an AI-powered command centre – the first of its kind in Europe.

The trust says the centre will transform how care is delivered and organised as the number of patients at Bradford Royal Infirmary continues to increase.

Utilising artificial intelligence (AI), it will provide a clear, instant, and real-time overview across the 800-bed hospital and help staff make quick and informed decisions on how to best manage patient care.

“Demand for services is growing at Bradford Teaching Hospitals every year” said Professor Clive Kay, Chief Executive of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. “The command centre will enable us to optimise our use of resources and improve how we move patients around the hospital for treatment and successful discharge.

“Around 350-400 patients come through our A&E every day, and relieving pressure on our 6,000 staff means they can spend more time delivering care, and less time organising care.”

“Hospitals are increasingly looking to boost the efficiency of their operations so they can continue to deliver high quality care as patient volume increases.”
