(Whitepaper) Digital foundations for an AI-enabled NHS
We are pleased to have shared our experience with adaptive AI in Healthcare Innovation Consortium’s UK EPR Network whitepaper, Digital Foundations for an AI-Enabled NHS. Our insight looks at how real-time clinician feedback can refine AI models, reduce false alarms, and build trust in AI-driven care.
Artificial Intelligence has the potential to transform healthcare — from enabling earlier interventions and automating routine tasks, to personalising treatment and improving system efficiency. But that potential cannot be realised unless the NHS builds the right digital foundations.
This whitepaper argues that AI readiness begins not with algorithms, but with infrastructure. Specifically, it begins with Electronic Patient Records (EPRs). These systems are the primary source of the structured, real-time clinical data that AI depends on. Yet across the NHS, variation in EPR maturity, configuration, and use continues to undermine data quality and interoperability.
Without addressing these foundational gaps, national ambitions for the Single Patient Record and AI-enabled care will remain out of reach.
Drawing on the expertise of the UK EPR Network — a vendor-neutral collaboration platform convened by Healthcare Innovation Consortium — this paper presents
shared insights from across the EPR ecosystem. It outlines what it means to be AI ready, what capabilities still need to be built, and how organisations can progress
safely and strategically.
