NHS Process Templates

Watch this short video to understand how FlowForma Process Automation unlocks digital transformation in Healthcare with out-of-the-box process templates

NHS Trusts and Hospitals have multiple use cases for process automation. The ultimate goal is complete digitalisation, but many prioritise the processes that are the most labour-intensive or ones that need the most transparency and where bottlenecks can be identified and addressed quickly. Process automation can be used in many scenarios whether they are back-office/operational or those processes that capture data when staff are patient-facing.

When hospitals and trusts automate their initial processes, they see the speed and agility of FlowForma - automating workflows in hours or days and enabling a data-driven approach to decision-making. Historically this often took weeks or months to complete or indeed failed and never got off the ground.

Customer Feedback

Shaun Bucknill
Head of ICT & Acting Deputy CIO

"For us, it was about leveraging the national tenant to gain further efficiencies and adopting an internet-first approach to cyber security.

FlowForma was part of our core PASA (Provisioning and System Access) solutions and the ability to create workflows quickly with governance from IT, without being reliant on them, is critical as we seek to further automate in other areas."

FlowForma was awarded a place on the NHS London Procurement Partnership (LPP) framework, for the provision of its FlowForma Process Automation tool to members of the NHS across the United Kingdom.

The NHS is faced with many challenges including resourcing, budget, security, and the inability to make decisions in a timely manner. The need to digitalise processes is becoming more of a priority to ensure that hospitals and trusts can work efficiently, report accurately, and make decisions confidently all while maintaining the highest standard of care for patients.
