Technology has become an intrinsic part of delivering effective healthcare. At Esteem we work with public and private sector healthcare organisations to help them reduce the cost of delivering both clinical and non-clinical systems, and meet their goals to improve patient care. Here’s just some of the reasons healthcare organisations across the UK choose to work with us:
- Our Healthcare Experience – we’ve been working with NHS Trusts, Strategic Health Authorities, central healthcare departments and private healthcare providers since 1985. We understand the challenges and pressures you face in delivering effective IT and can help you drive down costs while at the same time improving patient care and clinical governance
- Our Strategic Healthcare Partnerships – we’ve developed strategic partnerships with other specialist healthcare IT providers to enable us to deliver integrated solutions. We’re the preferred consultancy partner, for example, of licence providers Bytes and Trustmarque
- Our Technical Expertise – we have the highest levels of technical accreditation with some of the world’s leading software and hardware vendors including Microsoft, VMware, Citrix , Netapp and Sun Microsystems.
- Our Consultative Approach – we’re technology experts, but we don’t start with technology. When we work with a customer we start by looking at the clinical, business and technical issues you face. Using tools such as NIMM, this consultative approach enables us to design a solution that is driven by your needs, not by technology
From initial business and technical consultancy, through design and implementation to full on-going support and management, our Professional Services organisation will work with you every step of the way to make sure that you get the most out of your IT investment.
Our core solutions for healthcare organisation focus on achieving the following :
Reduce operating costs – we can help you to reduce the day to day running costs of your IT by simplifying IT management, integrating clinical and non-clinical systems, increasing server and storage utilisation, breaking the desktop re-fresh cycle, and consolidating maintenance and support agreements
Meet goals for better patient care and clinical governance – we’ll work with you to design an application and desktop delivery solution that gives your clinicians access to the information and data they need where and when they need it. We can also help enable information to be shared across different teams, departments and organisations with our business productivity solutions , and help you ensure that your systems are available 24 x 7 with effective business continuity and disaster recovery
Reduce carbon footprint – using our Green Computing audit tool we can help you to understand your existing carbon footprint. We can then work with you to reduce your energy emissions by consolidating and virtualisation your server infrastructure, increasing storage utilisation rates, reducing your cooling requirements, and lowering desktop power requirements
After working with Esteem Systems the NHS Trust has reduced 247 servers down by 30 per cent, saving space, driving down overall server maintenance costs, improving performance of critical clinical systems run by the NHS Trust and reducing server build time from 24 hours to a matter of minutes.
The Carmarthenshire Division of the Hywel Dda NHS Trust urgently needed to address its information management and technology infrastructure which was a drain on power, space and cooling resources and had a significant lack of disaster recovery.
Working in partnership with Esteem, United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust and Lincolnshire Shared Services have successfully implemented a new messaging and collaboration infrastructure and migrated over 17,000 users.
