University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust is making unified EPR a reality
The journey towards a national Electronic Patient Record has taken longer than originally expected and has sometimes proved testing for those involved. The first moves towards this key objective began in 2003, when the initial National Programme for IT contracts were placed, while CSC became involved at the start of 2004. There were some rather optimistic predictions about the likely speed of roll-out and the National Programme has been criticised for not delivering exactly to plan. Yet, quietly and effectively, a group of early adopter NHS Trusts have been steadily engaged in making the vision of a unified EPR a reality, and this case study tells the story of one such trust: University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT).
