Clinical care pathways are transforming dramatically; integrated care system working and the COVID-19 pandemic have widened access to digital technologies across NHS service delivery.

In this presentation, Abbott have invited University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust to share their experience of delivering an innovative transformation of the Liver Conditions pathway with AlinIQ CDS automated clinical decision support technology, and the measurably better patient outcomes that have followed. This experience includes using innovative approaches to supplement current clinical assessment processes, underpinned by changes and efficiencies in pathways, workforce and data collection.
