🏥Patient flow in hospitals is a problem - not just an operational one.

When flow breaks down, harm follows. Crowded emergency departments increase clinical risk. Prolonged inpatient stays expose patients to deconditioning and infection. Fragmented transitions between services create gaps in oversight and missed opportunities for early intervention.

And yet, patient flow is still often treated as an operational metric - bed capacity, delayed discharges, escalation status. These measures matter, but they're symptoms, not causes.
In our latest article for FutureScot, we explore why patient flow must now be owned jointly by clinical, digital and operational leaders - and how digital platforms can support safer care across organisational boundaries.

We'll be at FutureScot Health & Social Care Transformation 2026 next Thursday (12th March) in Glasgow. Come visit our booth - we'd love to talk about how Miya Precision supports safer patient flow across health systems.

Patient flow is not simply an efficiency challenge. It is a patient safety issue, according to digital health specialist Alcidion

The Alcidion team will be at Australian Healthcare Week in Sydney next week (11–12 March) 📍
Reach out to us if you'd like to catch up at the event, to learn more about how Australian health systems are making real headway with Miya Precision.

Hospitals we work with are seeing improved patient flow, better clinical visibility and less time lost to fragmented systems – this is how digital makes a real impact on the biggest challenges facing healthcare today. helping clinicians identify deteriorating patients earlier, coordinate care more effectively and get patients home sooner.

We're looking forward to a great couple of days.

Is your hospital trying to improve patient flow and progression of care?

With rising patient demand, workforce pressures, and stretched capacity, getting flow right has never been more important. But it's a complex challenge - success requires systems thinking, a focus on culture and real-time visibility across the whole organisation.

Alcidion's Dr Paul Deffley and Nick White explore these ideas in out latest book, 'Flow: A Handbook to Creating the Right Conditions for Patient Flow'. To hear them discuss the thinking behind it, have a listen to their recent interview on Talking HealthTech with Peter Birch: https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0FC8g0

Coming to ? Visit us at Booth B40 - we'll have copies of the handbook available for NHS staff and leaders. We'd love to see you there.

Last week, Alcidion customers and partners came together at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground for Engage 2026 – our inaugural ANZ conference. Over two days, we heard compelling stories from a range of healthcare systems: organisations using Miya Precision and other digital tools to tackle the big issues of bed capacity, virtual care, AI and fragmented care delivery.

From enabling connected care across vast regional distances, to building integrated care records for the Australian Defence Force - we heard what's possible when ambitious teams have the right tools.

A few highlights across two days:
➡️"At the end of the day, it’s not really about the system; it’s about the conversations that are enabled by having the data available." ~ Alcidion NED and former Alfred Health CEO Professor Andrew Way AM’s keynote address
➡️Fran Brockhus from Western Health shared their innovative work with Red & Green Day protocols to improve patient flow, and a fantastic visualisation of the move of beds across to the new Footscray Hospital using Miya Precision’s Hospital-at-a-Glance capability.
➡️‘Navigating Patient Access like a Drift Racer’ - an unexpected but powerful analogy by Anna Dewan of Northeast Health Wangaratta, demonstrating the speed and style of their work to implement Miya Precision last year. Dave Piggott will now always be referred to as being on the ‘drive team.’
➡️Andrew McGill of Northern Adelaide Local Health Network shared the experience of ‘Making the Invisible Visible’, and the great work they’ve done in their Network Operations Centre.
➡️A common theme from the team at University Hospital Southampton NHS FT and from Tara Jones and Lena Tat at Goulburn Valley Health: transforming healthcare is about the people, more so than any kind of technology. Tara & Lena highlighted the incredible positive impact that remote care is having for their gestational diabetes patients.
➡️We heard about two of the most complex Miya Precision deployments: firstly, from the team at Hume Rural Health Alliance who are enabling connected healthcare across rural and regional Victoria, and secondly from the team at Leidos, our partners in building integrated care records for the Australian Defence Force. It was incredible to see the scale of impact of Miya Precision in these challenging settings.
➡️And finally, a grounded, fascinating discussion on AI in Healthcare by Dr Sudeep Saraf of Alfred Health whose expertise helped shine some light on this rapidly emerging subject.

We cannot thank our speakers enough their insights, engaging metaphors 🏎️ and openness in sharing their experiences. Digital progress in healthcare doesn't happen without driven, passionate people, and that was evident across every session. 👏

Thanks as well to our sponsors:
Google, Consultmed, Propell and Cognitive Health Solutions.

Miya Precision Concept Detection - an AI-assisted capability within our Miya Noting module - is now included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) and the United Kingdom (MHRA) as a Class 1 Medical Device✅

Concept Detection analyses clinicians' free-text notes to identify medical concepts and suggest SNOMED CT codes, supporting structured documentation and reducing the time clinicians spend manually searching for clinical terms. Importantly, all detected concepts require clinician oversight and validation before being added to the patient record.

Healthcare systems are looking to technology to ease pressure on their workforce, and increasingly, that means AI. But adoption requires trust; organisations need confidence that the tools they bring into clinical environments meet the rigorous standards expected of medical software. This registration is part of our work to provide that reassurance to our customers and clinicians.

Alcidion Group Managing Director & CEO Kate Quirke said “With this foundation in place, we can now extend these capabilities across our existing Miya Precision customers and to new health systems seeking dependable, AI-enabled workflows.”

Hospital beds are one of healthcare's most precious resources - and the challenge of managing them has never been greater.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Paul Deffley and Chief Marketing Officer Nick White sat down with Peter Birch on Talking HealthTech to get into why traditional approaches to patient flow and bed access are falling short, and what a more systematic approach actually looks like in practice.

As Nick puts it: "The healthcare system is under siege… we lose the elasticity of the system to respond to fluctuations in demand. And so we need to take a more systematic approach to looking at patient flow and optimising how patients are moving through the system."

The conversation draws on findings from Alcidion's recently published patient flow handbook, covering the mindset shifts, metrics and cross-industry lessons that can help hospital leaders and clinicians rethink how patients move through overcrowded systems - and where real improvement starts.

💙 Martha's Rule gives patients and families a formal right to request urgent clinical review if they're worried about deterioration - because they often notice warning signs before the numbers do.

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has done incredible work as an early adopter of the rule, and has now designed a digital solution within Miya Precision that turns this principle into practical, bedside reality.

The new functionality combines patient, relative, and nurse input to create a structured assessment (the Patient Wellness Questionnaire), that automatically alerts clinicians when additional review is required. It asks patients twice daily how they are feeling, with an adapted pathway for those who cannot communicate verbally. Relatives and nurses can also flag concerns, with the system designed so that the greatest level of concern always triggers action.

The results speak volumes: in reviewing over 300 assessments, the team found that more than half came from patients who could not speak for themselves - demonstrating just how vital this inclusive approach is for protecting vulnerable patients.

This work exemplifies how technology can support clinical judgement rather than replace it. The solution acts as a ‘safety net’ for clinicians, helping nurses have better conversations, spot subtle changes earlier, and giving every voice - patient, family, and clinical - a chance to be heard.

Thank you to everyone at South Tees for your dedication and problem-solving in bringing this to life.

Congratulations to the teams at Hywel Dda University Health Board, who are now live with Miya Flow, Access and Command across acute and community hospital sites in West Wales 👏

This achievement is the result of incredible collaboration between Digital Services and Clinical teams, who have worked tirelessly to implement Miya Patient Flow across the health board. Wards have already embraced the Digital Whiteboards, recognising their clear advantages during daily board rounds and the benefits of a modern digital system over outdated manual processes.

Looking ahead, teams are excited to experience the full benefits of the Patient Flow systems, including improved visibility and hospital-wide operational oversight as the solution becomes fully embedded into their way of working. These benefits include clearer shared awareness, faster bed allocation and transfer planning and data-driven decision-making at the point of care.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for your determination, teamwork and problem-solving that made this go-live possible. We can’t wait to see the positive impact this will bring!

📰 In the news last week: see how University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is transforming emergency care with , following their successful go-live last month.

What stands out in this story is how the clinical teams at UHS didn't just adopt new technology - they shaped it to meet their needs. The result is a digitised ED that's already proving its worth during the busiest periods.

As Dr Paul Deffley, our UK Managing Director and Chief Medical Officer notes: "The A&E is often one of the most scrutinised parts of the hospital and we applaud them for a seamless transition to digital."

With neighbouring Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust also live on Miya Emergency, we're seeing the power of regional transformation - multiple trusts working with the same platform to unlock integrated care across the ICS.
