Healthcare Consumers of Pinnacle Services
Chief Technology Officer
Continuous government, industry and legislation change in addition to rapid technology shifts, introduce business risk in implementation and maintaining complex integrated healthcare platforms.
With the ever increasing pressure to see successful implementation and adoption of digital systems, without negative local or national press has never been greater.
CTO’s and their budgets are under the spot light as demand for “Digital Healthcare” services increases to be critical to patient care. Issue leakage to production to unplanned system outages, significant impact to user and public confidence, risks patient safety and damages long term system useability.
IT Teams
IT project teams within digital health programs are at the forefront of needing to implement and deliver successful digital health programs.
PinnacleQM work with IT project teams to support and enable successful delivery of their digital health programs. PinnacleQM inSight consultancy provides strategy and direction in Agile and DevOps. Whilst PinnacleQM services support Healthcare IT project teams to mitigate change risks with leading digital assurance services, and industry leading AI automation solutions that scale IT project team throughput and capacity to meet the increased demand and in IT changes.
Clinical Teams
Hospital and ward staff are often frustrated with IT functions, and the view that IT believe they can obtain the time of clinical teams as a way of getting free experienced end users to reduce the costs to their IT budgets.
Pinnacle understands this frustration and knows that time supporting IT change is precious, often with patient and ward healthcare being impacted… Every hour that clinical teams are engaged in IT change project means another hour that the teams are away from the ward delivering valuable patient care.
Pinnacle works with IT and clinical teams to drive a significant reduction in time and effort burden of supporting IT projects, and thus giving the time back to the end patients.
Intelligent AI Automation for Quality Engineering at Speed
Enabling Digital Healthcare Project Teams
“On the ground healthcare professionals” want to use new and innovative digital healthcare platforms and solutions to:
- Reduce wasted time on administration
- Improve their day jobs by removing repetition and the mundane
- Improve the focus upon one on one patient care
The reality of many digital health programs is often that the opposite happens. The IT team drain large amounts of clinical team time to provide support, input and testing over many iterations before IT change implementation.
Pinnacle understands first hand that clinical team time is precious. Every hour spent by a clinical team member on an IT change projects means another hour away from the ward delivering valuable patient care. Through our AI and ML solutions we significantly reduce that burden and increase use case scenarios. The results is more robust solutions delivered far faster than via traditional methods.

Chief Technology Officer
With the ever increasing pressure to see successful implementation and adoption of digital systems, without negative local or national press has never been greater. CTO’s and their budgets are under the spot light as demand for “complex integrated digital” services increases to be critical to the success of delivering modern customer and business banking.
Continuous change and rapid implementation and integration of complex banking platforms, old and new continually increase the risk of impacting key business functions, increases the risk of production failures from defect leakage. Whilst business teams within the bank are often required to spend time continuously supporting IT change projects rather than focusing upon their own critical job role activities.
CTO’s juggle a challenging ever shifting landscape, where improved digital business assurance is of paramount importance to managing risk, quality, cost and speed of delivering IT Change. Pinnacle consultancy and services enable CTO’s and their IT teams to directly address these challenges and enable effective and scalable quality banking transformation at speed without increasing production risk. PinnacleQM do this by leveraging our international industry experience, providing our leading expertise, innovation and solutions, that allow banking teams to achieve their digital outcomes.
