New partnership to improve patient safety in South East London ICS

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust will work with Omnicell to develop a European technology-enabled inventory optimisation and intelligence service which will be initially implemented across South East London Integrated Care System (ICS). This partnership will encompass all six acute hospital sites within the South East London ICS, including Guy’s & St Thomas’, Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust.

The project will have the following goals:

• Develop analytics and reporting tools with a goal of improving patient safety, achieving increased operational efficiency and cost efficiencies
• Utilize the analytics and reporting tools with a goal of achieving agreed efficiencies and cost reductions
• Demonstrate the impact of managing clinical supplies and medicine spend together at scale
• Build a service model for the ICS which can be scaled up and adopted by other hospital groups in the UK
