Today Ben is joined by Trish Hawitt Palmer, Practice Manager at Acorns Surgery in Huntington and Lisa Drake, director of quality services and improvement at Redmore Health. They discuss 'the digital journey planner'. This is a place for general practice staff to complete a self-assessment that is intended to help practices understand all of the elements required to deliver high quality, safe online services in the most effective way. The planner includes a number of modules, each describing the benefits of working this way and starts with a checklist of questions as an assessment. Lisa shares how she started using the digital journey planner and what her experience with it has been so far. They talk; examples, costs, their advice and how to find the digital journey planner.
