The Outcomes and Registries Programme and the Medical Device Outcome Registry (MDOR)
Description
In this session, Tim Briggs addresses the audience to discuss outcomes and regulations related to medical devices and the NHS. He emphasizes the importance of interaction and invites questions. Briggs provides an overview of the current operational pressures facing the NHS, such as COVID, flu outbreaks, and industrial actions, while highlighting the remarkable statistics of the NHS's operations, including the treatment of 1.5 million patients daily and the undertaking of 10 million operations per year.
A focus on outpatient care reveals a significant waiting list issue, with only a small percentage of outpatient visits leading to inpatient admissions. To improve efficiency, Briggs discusses the necessity of using data and innovative approaches to enhance outpatient services and clinical outcomes. Initiatives like the GIRFT program and the National Consultant Information Programme are stressed as critical tools for quality improvement.
Briggs outlines the expansion of surgical hubs and the additional funding that will increase the capacity of outpatient procedures significantly. He urges collaboration among clinicians, management, and technical teams to ensure high-quality data and clinical outcomes, which will in turn enhance patient safety. The session is intended to clarify ongoing efforts and encourage support for new methodologies in healthcare delivery, transitioning to Scott Pryde for further insights.
