During an extensive career in digital health, Smart has advised senior government ministers, has played leading roles in initiatives including the Global Digital Exemplar programme and has helped to drive technology adoption from within the health technology industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on his new role with Alcidion, Will Smart said: \u201cAlcidion continues to win really interesting projects, as healthcare systems work to advance digitisation. The company deserves mindshare from healthcare CIOs for its very impressive modern, interoperable, standards-based EPR platform, and for technologies now needed to address key issues such as how patients flow across systems. I look forward to sharing ideas and working closely with the Alcidion team, who have proven themselves to be thoughtful and committed in delivering the best possible products and outcomes for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart is a former global director of external relations for Dedalus Group. He has also held executive roles at several NHS trusts during his career, including group chief information officer for the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will remain in post as digital non-executive director for Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, from where he serves as a member of the Acute Hospitals Alliance EPR Joint Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the delivery of a shared EPR across three NHS trusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart remains a director of CareTech Partners Limited, which provides digital advisory and consultancy support. He is also a member of Health and Social Care Council at techUK, a trade association which represents and champions companies in the UK technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kate Quirke, CEO for Alcidion, said: \u201cWill\u2019s extensive experience in digitising frontline services will help to inform our strategic direction as we continue to serve more and more healthcare providers throughout the world, with genuine solutions to meet their needs. We look forward to inspiring and open discussions that will help to further enhance our effectiveness in this mission.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
