Currently, there is no roadmap regarding how to achieve this. Thankfully, solutions from companies such as Dell are already available and primed to tackle key areas of NHS data management. Here are four potentially transformative [benefits of Dell’s data storage ](https://nexstor.com/dell-emc/)solutions. ## **1. Health Records** Lack of access to health records is a major problem in the NHS. In 2024, Coroners in England and Wales gave [36 warnings](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/nov/09/nhs-patients-dying-because-of-problems-sharing-medical-records-coroners-warn) regarding deaths that “would have been avoided” if NHS staff had access to patient details. Blaming a lack of ability to share information, Health Secretary Wes Streeting has stated a “desperate need to modernise” the way that the NHS handles patient data with the introduction of a new [Digital Data Bill](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/oct/21/wes-streeting-unveils-plans-for-patient-passports-to-hold-all-medical-records). Industry-leading [Dell EMS solutions](https://nexstor.com/dell-powerstore-prime-game-changer-businesses/) are arguably the only answer for the NHS. Dell is focused on taking the stress out of collecting, storing, accessing, and sharing vast quantities of information. Importantly, its track record [is impeccable](https://www.britannica.com/money/Dell-Inc), with Dell’s most recent accolades including being named a [global data solutions leader](https://www.dell.com/en-us/blog/dell-named-a-leader-in-gartner-magic-quadrant-report/) in the Gartner Magic Quadrant Report. ## **2. Cloud Storage** Data storage is one of the significant barriers to the proposed shift to digital. There are nearly 60 million people living in England and Wales, and this represents a potentially daunting volume of personal data. Storing it on-premises would require major infrastructure investments while creating potential security headaches, such as the risk of data loss due to theft or damage. Designed for invisibly storing vast amounts of data, Dell’s EMC Cloud-native infrastructure offers the highest level of security. The [CloudLinkTM](https://www.dell.com/en-uk/dt/learn/cloud/cloud-security.htm) flexible data encryption and key management solution offers [complete control with full regulatory compliance](https://nexstor.com/dell-emc-server-storage/), further supporting this option for healthcare data management. ## **3. Data Platforms** One of the big problems that the NHS faces is a lack of communication between different hospitals, clinics, primary care providers, and health responders. For instance, several of the Coroner Warnings in 2024 related to ambulance staff not having access to full patient information, while others highlighted a lack of information sharing between Mental Health Services and general medical care. [Dell’s EMC ](https://nexstor.com/dell-emc/)data platforms specifically target the problem of health care data management and sharing. They collapse so-called ‘data piles’ to enable the seamless flow of information across different platforms. As such, information can be shared instantly, clearly, and without error. ## **4. Data Protection** The sensitivity of personal health information has traditionally been a barrier to the digitisation of the NHS. The consequences of potential data leaks are daunting. In addition to leaving individuals vulnerable to identity theft, fraud, and the full cocktail of cybercrimes, it can [shatter patient trust](https://www.dataleaklawyers.co.uk/blog/consequences-of-medical-data-breaches-claiming-compensation). The implications of this range from litigation to patients shunning routine medical appointments, leading to a catalogue of problems further down the line. Dell’s EMC cloud solutions are incorporated into Dell’s [Zero Trust security framework](https://www.dell.com/en-uk/dt/solutions/zero-trust/index.htm). This future-focused strategy is holistic yet aggressive, representing a no-compromise security promise. As such, the NHS can trust that patient information is safe and within full compliance with data privacy laws. ## **What Next?** Healthcare is central to the wellbeing of every citizen in England and Wales. As such, the digital solution needs to be the most efficient, effective, and appropriate. [Dell’s comprehensive EMC ](https://nexstor.com/dell-emc/)framework may be the answer, so [get your free Dell quote](https://sanbuilder.co.uk/dell-emc-quote/?__hstc=24299685.27b85e4e9a6f55b0d1912025e9393c98.1727252383324.1729855401370.1729862266802.13&__hssc=24299685.1.1729862266802&__hsfp=3529318102&_ga=2.262214348.1595621186.1729847448-1061128765.1727252382&_gl=1*11g14ez*_ga*MTA2MTEyODc2NS4xNzI3MjUyMzgy*_ga_PQLRVG9FXZ*MTcyOTg2MjI2NS4xNS4xLjE3Mjk4NjMzMzIuNjAuMC4w) today.  Why not download our Dell Storage Buyer’s Guide?
