Global engineering and consulting firm Mott MacDonald and clinically-led digital health company Open Medical have announced a new partnership that will provide cutting-edge digital solutions and comprehensive digital transformation consultancy to Integrated Care Systems (ICS).
Building on Open Medical’s Pathpoint, the partnership will enable a more holistic view of healthcare processes and patient pathways, address complex issues in the outpatient and elective care areas, and offer bespoke digital strategies and implementation plans for healthcare delivery providers.
This is particularly important within the context of ICSs, which bring together NHS organisations, local authorities, and other healthcare providers to plan and deliver joined-up health and care services.
Dr Michael Shenouda, Chief Commercial Officer at Open Medical, said:
“Cross-organisational collaboration, such as in an ICS, can be very challenging.
“Managing care on such a large scale requires not only the right software solutions but also core problem solving and design thinking to ensure the solutions deliver the required goals.
“With Mott MacDonald and their transformation expertise, we are blending the best of both worlds, bringing together our respective experiences and expertise to provide big-picture insights that go above and beyond, supporting the delivery of cutting-edge digital solutions.”
Abhi Shekar, Digital Healthcare Lead at Mott MacDonald, added:
“Addressing the complex needs of healthcare clients requires an ecosystem approach.
“As a clinician-led software company, Open Medical brings practical insights and award-winning digital solutions.
“This capability combined with Mott MacDonald’s transformation expertise means that together we can offer a unique perspective for healthcare providers and identify solutions that work for them.
“Open Medical have developed amazing software that helps to standardise and improve care pathways.
“Collaborating with them to deliver an integrated health and care system is a fantastic opportunity.”
