Hospital beds are one of healthcare's most precious resources - and the challenge of managing them has never been greater.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Paul Deffley and Chief Marketing Officer Nick White sat down with Peter Birch on Talking HealthTech to get into why traditional approaches to patient flow and bed access are falling short, and what a more systematic approach actually looks like in practice.

As Nick puts it: "The healthcare system is under siege… we lose the elasticity of the system to respond to fluctuations in demand. And so we need to take a more systematic approach to looking at patient flow and optimising how patients are moving through the system."

The conversation draws on findings from Alcidion's recently published patient flow handbook, covering the mindset shifts, metrics and cross-industry lessons that can help hospital leaders and clinicians rethink how patients move through overcrowded systems - and where real improvement starts.

💙 Martha's Rule gives patients and families a formal right to request urgent clinical review if they're worried about deterioration - because they often notice warning signs before the numbers do.

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has done incredible work as an early adopter of the rule, and has now designed a digital solution within Miya Precision that turns this principle into practical, bedside reality.

The new functionality combines patient, relative, and nurse input to create a structured assessment (the Patient Wellness Questionnaire), that automatically alerts clinicians when additional review is required. It asks patients twice daily how they are feeling, with an adapted pathway for those who cannot communicate verbally. Relatives and nurses can also flag concerns, with the system designed so that the greatest level of concern always triggers action.

The results speak volumes: in reviewing over 300 assessments, the team found that more than half came from patients who could not speak for themselves - demonstrating just how vital this inclusive approach is for protecting vulnerable patients.

This work exemplifies how technology can support clinical judgement rather than replace it. The solution acts as a ‘safety net’ for clinicians, helping nurses have better conversations, spot subtle changes earlier, and giving every voice - patient, family, and clinical - a chance to be heard.

Thank you to everyone at South Tees for your dedication and problem-solving in bringing this to life.

Congratulations to the teams at Hywel Dda University Health Board, who are now live with Miya Flow, Access and Command across acute and community hospital sites in West Wales 👏

This achievement is the result of incredible collaboration between Digital Services and Clinical teams, who have worked tirelessly to implement Miya Patient Flow across the health board. Wards have already embraced the Digital Whiteboards, recognising their clear advantages during daily board rounds and the benefits of a modern digital system over outdated manual processes.

Looking ahead, teams are excited to experience the full benefits of the Patient Flow systems, including improved visibility and hospital-wide operational oversight as the solution becomes fully embedded into their way of working. These benefits include clearer shared awareness, faster bed allocation and transfer planning and data-driven decision-making at the point of care.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for your determination, teamwork and problem-solving that made this go-live possible. We can’t wait to see the positive impact this will bring!

Alcidion has been selected as the preferred EPR supplier by University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (UHSx) for its new Electronic Patient Record system.

UHSx, part of the Sussex Integrated Care System, is one of the UK’s largest acute trusts, providing hospital and community care across seven hospitals and supporting more than 1.5 million outpatient, emergency and surgical cases each year.

Alcidion will deploy its Miya Precision platform, including Miya Observations and Assessments (Patientrack), which is already live at the Trust, delivering real-time access to patient records and supporting improved patient flow and clinical decision-making.

Deployment of Miya Precision which is expected to commence in Q4FY26.

Roxanne Smith, Chief Strategy Officer at UHSussex, said the decision represents a “big achievement” for the Trust.

“Reaching this point is a big achievement for an organisation of our size and complexity,” she said. “More than 1,500 staff helped shape what we need from an electronic patient record, and a further 150 were involved in selecting the right solution. That level of involvement reflects how strongly our teams feel about getting this right.

“Our patients are at the centre of every decision we make, and moving to a single electronic patient record will have a real impact on safety, quality of care and outcomes. For a large, busy Trust caring for communities across Sussex, moving from analogue to digital is essential if we are to deliver Excellent Care Everywhere.

“The EPR is a cornerstone of our Trust strategy. It will help us share information more securely and efficiently across our hospitals and with partners such as GPs and mental health services, reducing duplication, improving consistency, and supporting better joined-up care for our communities.”

📰 In the news last week: see how University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is transforming emergency care with , following their successful go-live last month.

What stands out in this story is how the clinical teams at UHS didn't just adopt new technology - they shaped it to meet their needs. The result is a digitised ED that's already proving its worth during the busiest periods.

As Dr Paul Deffley, our UK Managing Director and Chief Medical Officer notes: "The A&E is often one of the most scrutinised parts of the hospital and we applaud them for a seamless transition to digital."

With neighbouring Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust also live on Miya Emergency, we're seeing the power of regional transformation - multiple trusts working with the same platform to unlock integrated care across the ICS.

‘Digital fragmentation doesn't just waste time; it increases clinical risk. Delayed or incomplete information contributes to missed diagnoses, duplication of investigations, medication errors and delayed escalation of care.’

When clinicians must mentally stitch together patient stories from multiple sources, errors increase and burnout accelerates. Yet many healthcare organisations believe the only solution is costly wholesale system replacement.

There's a better way.

Platform thinking transforms fragmented systems into integrated clinical ecosystems without ripping and replacing existing technology. It's practical, affordable and designed for resource-constrained environments.

Australia's public hospitals are spending more than ever - $87 billion in 2024, up 50% from a decade ago - but money alone isn't solving the problem. The Grattan Institute's latest report (https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0pBy70) argues the solution lies in efficiency, identifying $1.2 billion in potential annual savings through better hospital operations.

With demand growing and budgets constrained, the report makes a clear case: the path forward isn't just about spending more, it's about spending smarter. This is precisely where digital health solutions demonstrate their impact and where Miya Precision has already been making that difference in Australian hospitals and abroad.

Earlier this year, we calculated that Alcidion has already delivered over an estimated $1 billion in value to global healthcare systems (see the summary at https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0pBnT0 ) by addressing the very same inefficiencies identified in the report:

➡️ Reducing clinician documentation time so staff can focus on patient care rather than paperwork
➡️ Improving bed management and patient flow to maximise capacity
➡️ Enabling safe, efficient care delivery through better clinical coordination
➡️ Supporting evidence-based decision-making with integrated data

These innovations work because they combine technology with process improvement, and a deep understanding of how people work. Australian hospitals don't need to choose between quality and efficiency. With the right digital infrastructure, they can deliver both.

Australian governments waste $1.2 billion a year on avoidable spending in public hospitals which does nothing to improve patient care.
