A win-win situation: How optimising medication management delivers for patients, taxpayers and the UK health system

Publish date: Dec 11, 2023

There is a significant opportunity for improvement and transformation in the UK health system to address the current slow and piecemeal approach to the adoption of innovative medicines management technology. Connected Medication Management (CMM) technology has the potential to transform every step of the medicines pathway, from supply through to the patient bedside – it can help create a safer, smarter, and more efficient health system. While there is some adoption of this technology across the UK, its full potential to tackle the UK health system’s biggest challenges is not widely understood and as such, it not been an area of focus for national policy and decision makers in government and the NHS. The aim of this CMM Policy Vision is to discuss the benefits of CMM technology and bring to life how strategic deployment can deliver for patients, taxpayers, and the UK health system.

The CMM Policy Vision paper considers:

• Relieving workforce pressures by releasing time for high-value tasks

• Building a safer health system by reducing prevalence of medication errors
• The Impact of Connected Medication Management on the system
