Hornbill Systems has worked with many NHS bodies to provide a range of proven IT Service Management solutions that enable you to quickly and easily participate in the National Programme for IT.

Healthcare customers benefit from a specially built service management application that is based on Hornbill’s certified ITIL compatible Supportworks ITSM solution. Supportworks ITSM Connecting for Health is a pre-configured application that can be implemented at your site with just a few days' effort, enabling you to fast-track participation in the NHS National Programme for IT (NPfIT). The pre-configured solution includes full support for the CFH Minimum Data Set (MDS) and "seamless ticketing" electronic integration to your Local Service Provider (LSP) all out-of-the-box.

Hear what our customers say about the solution

"As a Trust we needed an IT Service Management System that would enable us to implement ITIL 'Best Practice' yet be flexible enough for us to adopt and adapt and with an open architecture to allow interfacing with existing systems. Supportworks delivered all the functionality we required, including Seamless Ticketing, complex SLA support and integration with existing Trust systems, all at a very affordable price. Call volumes have increased by 30% since CRS went live and with the Connecting for Health (CfH) minimum data requirement Incidents now take longer to log. Without Supportworks ITSM there is no way that we could have managed this increase in call volumes. "
