Heartbeat: Digital transformation done the Andy Churm way!

November 14, 2019

For Andy Churm, Unity is just the beginning.

The launch of Unity has seen a massive shift across the organisation, from the front line to colleagues working in local communities. Behind the scenes, Andy will now be working to expand the use of System One, bridging the gap between the two systems. He’s recently taken on the position of practice education digital lead. This came out of the changes created through the implementation of mobile working for district nurses.

“I was on secondment for a year helping to set up mobile working for district nurses. That involved helping to get all the existing systems set up into an electronic format. As well as that we needed to get them on System One Mobile,” Andy told Heartbeat.

“With that rolled out, it became clear that there were some gaps in documentation. We hadn’t covered getting the paper items into a digital format, so there’s been a lot of work to get new templates sorted.”

“It all carries on; workflows need to continue. It became clear the original two days a week secondment was evolving into a new position and now it has.”

The new role officially began last month. It will see Andy continue his previous work but under a much-expanded remit. He’ll be working on systems that still need to be reconfigured and so much more. Watch this space!
