About ImproveWell

A motivated workforce leads to better patient outcomes and improved financial performance. The ImproveWell platform uses a smartphone application that empowers frontline healthcare staff to communicate their ideas for improving care directly to senior management. An intelligent data dashboard provides a proven and trusted way to review the improvement ideas coming in from the frontline. From the ward to the board, everyone can make suggestions to improve their workplace. For further information, please visit How It Works.

The ImproveWell platform is a secure system, easily tailored for each organisation. The software can support any workforce – including large, diverse healthcare delivery organisations across the NHS – and we work closely with programme leads, to encourage effective implementation strategies. We provide participating organisations with a unique authentication code to invite colleagues to join their programmes.
