Alder Hey Children’s Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has teamed up with a healthcare technology firm with the aim of eradicating paper-based processes.
The Trust is working with Wellbeing Software to implement the Stratus platform which scans and replaces paper records in order to make them available alongside other sources of integrated clinical data. The solution is interoperable with the trust’s strategic EPR system, providing clinicians with visibility of the complete patient record, wherever they may be.
Chris Yeowart, director of Wellbeing Software said: “Alder Hey is an incredibly progressive organisation, dedicated to using technology to make improvements that will ultimately enhance service delivery and clinical outcomes for the benefit of patients. As the trust’s long-term radiology information system supplier, we’re proud to extend our partnership to help them to create comprehensive, paperless, patient records.”
The Trust is also implementing Wellbeing’s eConsent solution to manage the compulsory parental consent process associated with all surgical procedures. The creation of additional electronic forms is also a feature of the project, and will be available to view via the Stratus interface along with information from other integrated services such as medical imaging and pathology.
