Model Hospital Update – 28th September 2018

Dear colleague,

Here’s a summary of the improvements and updates we’ve made over the past week.

New version of the Model Hospital

This week we’ve launched a brand new version of the Model Hospital – you’ll see it when you log in.

In response to user feedback we’ve introduced new designs and features that aim to make it easier for trusts to identify opportunities to improve productivity. These include:

• Each trust’s greatest potential efficiency opportunities showcased on their homepage
• New browse and metric search
• New icons and fresh, clean page layouts
• Clear and comprehensive metric information pages
• Accessible support articles, videos and tips
• Mobile and tablet-friendly design
• Additional information about peer groups
• Pop-up tips for first-time users
• And more!

Please inform all your colleagues and networks about the new version of the Model Hospital, and anyone you think may be interested in learning about the new features and designs. For more information watch our videos introducing the new design and productivity opportunities or read our read our help articles.
