Patients willexperience an improved, more efficientservice which will lead to more efficienttreatment and a more secure system.Staff will be able to access recordsat the touch of a button and patientinformation will be readily accessibleacross all sites. The move to digitalrecords will also mean more informationwill be available to empower healthprofessionals to make more informeddecisions, more quickly.Work has already started on scanningcasualty cards in theaccident and emergencydepartment and interimsoftware has beenintroduced to allowclinicians to view them.The next major milestoneis December 30, whenscanning of case notesstored in the ear,nose and throat andophthalmology recordslibrary will start.ENT consultant and project clinical lead,Dave Strachan, said: “Digitalising recordsand accessing them via computers will bethe single biggest and most significantchange to clinical practice that we willsee during our working lifetime.“It is a huge and complex project thatinvolves everyone within the directoratebut the potential benefits for patients andstaff alike are enormous.”Medical staff use the electronic patient recordssystem being introduced by the Foundation TrustFrom there it’s hoped that ‘Going Digital’will roll out to the rest of the organisationby March 2011.In the meantime, the Foundation Trustis working on setting up an in-housescanning service at St Luke’s and isworking with an external consultancy totest the system.Trust Today | September 20103
