In the heart of Birmingham, a dedicated team of 5,000 people is powering the Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BCHC). They provide over 100 unique NHS services, catering to all stages of life, from newborns to the elderly. This remarkable team serves the 1.1 million people of Birmingham, extending their specialist rehabilitation and dental services to an impressive 6.5 million people across the wider West Midlands region.
Yet, like any great venture in the digital age, BCHC faced its fair share of hurdles when it came to its network infrastructure. One significant issue was the high latency reported on the network, particularly when accessing an essential clinical app tied to the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. This difficulty created hurdles in patient care, affecting the efficiency of BCHC's staff and generating frustration as they worked to maintain the high-quality service they were dedicated to delivering. With no visible connectivity issues, pinning down the problem was like performing open-heart surgery in the dark.
