Beyond the front line – Reimagining connected healthcare in a post COVID world

Vodafone laying out healthcare’s next steps in a post COVID world. We believe that it’s now clear, more than ever that healthcare needs to be reimagined. We need to move towards a model of connected healthcare, where we take advantage of the possibilities of 21st century technology.

A long-term commitment to delivering change

At Vodafone, we are committed to helping digital healthcare become mainstream. Already innovating to make this happen, we are aware that this transformation has been accelerated in health and social care by the global coronavirus pandemic. Now, more than ever, the huge value of technology and connectivity has been recognised at every level of the health and social care system.

Yet we recognise that budgets are still a challenge. The key is to truly innovate through technology. Using it for improved and more cost-efficient collaboration. To prevent equipment and medicine loss or theft. To better manage resource and capacity, including bed availability. And to integrate records across systems and devices for a superior patient experience.

Vodafone is a purpose-led business. Just like the health and social care sectors. That’s why we’ve made a series of commitments that include prioritising mission critical communications; providing network capacity and services for critical government functions, especially hospitals and emergency calls; and improving the delivery of information to the public.
