Care quality and patient experience needs to be improved through harnessing the benefits of digital technology and innovation, to this end we work in close partnership with our customers to achieve this. By delivering an integrated health record across regional areas and multiple NHS and private healthcare providers, efficiency and patient care can be improved through the adoption of our solutions".

Unity emerged from research conducted with over 800 senior clinicians across multiple organisations. The findings of this research identified three key challenges when working in an data-intensive environment.

  1. Fragmented computer systems and databases
  2. Delays in gaining access to critical information.
  3. Increasing pressures to find efficiencies.

Unity solves these problems by acting as a control layer, that whilst able to draw from multiple complex databases, means that we can develop flexible and bespoke user interfaces for minimal cost. The result is a software solution that suites the specific data-intensive needs of your organisation.
