The British Minister of Health Wes Streeting said that the use of robotics will be the focus of the government of the government’s 10-year plan for the NHS and the drive to improve productivity.
Robot-assisted operations are standard and hospitals for certain procedures such as ears, nose and neck operation that do not use this technology Nhs is published.
“The thing that gives me the greatest excitement about what the NHS could be is the revolution in medical technology,” including the expansion of “pioneering robots,” said Streeting.
“We would like to make sure that we use more robot operations so that one of eight operations will be carried out by a robot in 10 years,” he said. For example, one of 60 elective surgical interventions of robots is currently supported.
Officials said that the expansion of robotics had been expected in general surgery, urology, gynecology, trauma and orthopedics as well as in cardiothoraic, ears, nasal and neck methods.
The use of robot operations not only increases the number of treatments, but also accelerates the recovery times because it is less invasive. Patients spend less time in above -average hospitals.
In the 10-year plan, suggestions for expanding the use of robotics in NHS pharmacies are also set on the output of recipes and the acceleration of the use of robot process automation, in which the robot data input and medical stocks can handle data input and medical stocks.
According to Streeting, the plan will increase the number of “Best -Practice -Zölle” from next year, according to which hospitals are financially punished to capture outdated surgical practices.
“So close the space for the stragglers to simply hold back and waste the money of the taxpayers,” said Streeting.
“We realize that time and money is needed, but over time it is simply not acceptable that some hospitals offer a better price -performance ratio, while others provide worse care.”
The cabinet minister, whose own kidney cancer was partially treated by a robot, said that the increase in productivity and efficiency, which could be achieved with such technology, could be crucial in order to prove that the NHS can remain a sustainable public service.
The model of a publicly financed free service service was in “real danger,” he said. “If we don’t make the NHS sustainable, it will be broke.”
With regard to the importance of his 10-year plan for determining the “broken” NHS: “Everyone knows how existential it is”.
Improving the NHS performance is one of the most important ways to be held accountable by the public in the next elections.
The Streeting management party is currently setting the UK reform from Nigel Farage, which has proposed a departure from the currently tax -financed model compared to an insurance system.
The health leaders asked whether it would be possible for all NHS hospitals to increase the use of robotics, since the capital financing of the Ministry of Finance will remain flat for the next three years.
Matthew Taylor, Managing Director of the NHS Confederation and a former strategist of the Labor Party, said: “So that NHS organizations can achieve a point where you can enforce significant productivity leap by using robots that you need in advance in this type of technology in central investments that are not cheap.
“If these hospital trusts, which have not yet invested in this advanced technology, are not assigned to capital financing that you need to buy, at the same time risk that you will continue to enter into your optional lists in your option and at the same time are paid less for the work you do.”
In addition to the robotics, the 10-year plan will suggest a stronger use of the surrounding disorder technology (AVT)-drives with AI-drives, which should make it faster for doctors to make medical notes, automatic transcripts of patient visits to highlight the relevant details and create clinical summaries.
According to Streeting, this technology can only increase the productivity of doctors by up to 20 percent.
However, the increase in the technically supported medical note has triggered the concern of the risk of ai-generated productions, which are called “hallucinations”, as well as the problem of data protection patients.
This month, the National Chief Clinical Information Officer of the NHS wrote to the employees to warn that a number of AVT systems were “widespread” in clinical practice that do not correspond to the NHS Governance standards.
“We have to ensure that the clinicians give widespread awareness of the importance of the approved, proven products and software,” said Streeting. “I take this security problem very seriously and the data security of people.
“What is not legitimate is the use of software or products that are not licensed and authorized for use. With NHS managers, we will guide this message through the system to the front.”
He said NHS employees should know that they have a government who shares their appetite for the use of Ambient -Ki and we will give you the tools for the job. “
According to Streeting, a number of other announcements are followed by the 10-year plan, including a new staff plan in autumn.
“We took the workforce plan of the previous government because it was written before Chatgpt has been widespread and is already outdated,” he said.
“Instead of asking how many employees have to maintain our current care model in the next 10 years?”
