BridgeHead Software
Main Sponsor - BridgeHead Software
As healthcare providers continue their digital transformation journeys and embark on initiatives, such as frontline digitisation, diagnostic modernisation, and cybersecurity programs; a series of challenges are emerging concerning their legacy application landscape.
Legacy applications are everywhere! They can be replaced, duplicate, or outdated patient, clinical, or administrative systems. But, in all cases, they carry significant risk and present common issues that healthcare organisations need to tackle in order to realise the full value of their historical data.
In a session led by Georgina Hurst from BridgeHead Software, you will learn how to:
- Reduce the cost of maintaining your legacy applications
- Ensure legacy data is readily accessible within a hospital or beyond, minimising clinical risk
- Mitigate cybersecurity risks from aging, vulnerable systems
- Lighten the burden on IT…
All in the context of the work being carried out by our customers as part of the their digital transformation initiatives.

Keynote Presentation - Connecting technology to deliver integrated care across the system (Confirmed)
Diane Baynham
Director of Digital Care Pathways

If the fundamentals of digital are in place the work doesn’t stop there. Integration and interoperability remain key to truly transforming clinical pathways across the system but how do we really integrate local digital capabilities whilst still driving toward a standard patient experience? With a backdrop of emerging national technical architecture against locally delivered digital products, how do we knit the two together? Examples of shared care records bringing systems together and remote monitoring for virtual care will be explored and discussed.
