Challenge
Healthcare services around the world face enormous challenges not just in the care of COVID-19 affected patients, but also in the continued delivery of care to the thousands who still require NHS services for unrelated conditions. Healthcare providers are considering how they effectively remodel their services; provide continuity for patients with chronic health conditions; and meet the needs of those requiring acute care, surgery and obstetric care – all with limited resources. Across the NHS, Europe, and the world, innovative solutions are being developed in answer to the questions posed by COVID-19. Processes and care pathways are being redesigned, new products brought to market, and old products reimagined. However, without a central repository for these solutions, ensuring they are shared across the industry and to the relevant staff members posed a complex challenge.
Solution
David & Ryan identified that the ideation platform, which Selesti built for 7billionideas to capture improvements and optimizations from staff in education and corporate environments, could be a great place for these COVID-19 solutions to be housed. This platform allows users to upload ideas and innovations for their business. This powerful technology was the perfect platform to be repurposed for healthcare workers across the world. And so, Weshare.Healthcare was born. Weshare Healthcare aims to enable healthcare professionals from around the world to share their initiatives. Our team is proud to have used their expertise in web technology and agile project management to play a part in helping to transfer the knowledge of innovative ideas and solutions for the benefit of all medical staff during this unprecedented time.
Results
Agile work = rapid deployment Selesti set to work within a day of hearing about the idea, and within a week delivered the first iteration for testing & population. By focusing on the critical features only, we were able to speed up delivery of this solution, meaning Weshare.Healthcare was able to offer this much needed solution at a time when it was needed most. This minimum viable product (MVP) approach allowed healthcare workers to share a solution quickly at the end of a busy shift and categorize them for fellow professionals to see.
