<p>NHS Improvement and NHS England have active programmes of work to review the role
of e-health technology in areas such as productivity of operating theatres, the automated
monitoring of admitted patients and associated bed occupancy levels and the role of
digital patient services.</p><p>Additionally, the e-Referrals Service allows commissioners
and acute hospital providers in England to manage their demand and capacity more effectively,
providing opportunities for reduced waiting lists. It also enables general practitioners
and patients to make informed decisions about the choice of provider for treatment
by identifying providers associated with longer waiting times.</p>
