Cheshire and Merseyside won Gold in the ‘Supporting Elective Recovery Through Digital’ category, at the HSJ Digital Awards, alongside technology partner C2-Ai, after transforming how waiting lists are managed with the help of an AI-backed waiting list model.
The tool helps surgical teams identify previously hidden high-risk patients, and to make informed decisions on how, when and where to treat patients to achieve the best outcomes.
NHS England, who commissioned the project, reported that within six weeks patient waiting lists dropped by nearly 30%, as well as a 66% decrease in intensive care needs for high-risk patients, saved about 2,500 hospital bed-days across 20,000 patients, and cut emergency admissions to the waiting list by 8%.
