E-observations are now well established at many trusts, and a priority for those drawing up local digital roadmaps.
Electronic patient records have reached two of the remoter parts of the UK, with the deployment of InterSystems’ TrakCare to Shetland and Orkney.
The National Programme for IT in the NHS came to an end in the North, Midlands and East last week. Its flagship electronic patient record was Lorenzo. How are recent deployments going, and what legacy will it leave, asks Ben Heather.
A physical health template originally developed for use in primary care in Bradford, and now implemented into SystmOne, has revolutionised care for serious mental illness patients.
The Department of Health has approved funding for North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust to deploy the Lorenzo electronic patient record as part of its post-NPfIT deal with CSC and in support of a ‘Raising our Service Excellence’ programme.
The National Programme for IT has finally come to an end, although the bill for the enormously expensive and controversial project will continue to be paid for years to come.
