ANregiomed Puts Siemens Healthineers and Dräger in Charge of its Medical Equipment

Working with Buddy Healthcare, the hospital Board has launched "ELSIE", its new digital platform. It's been designed to replace the previous "paper based" system, a process that often required every patient to physically attend a hospital and answer questions with a nurse.
The problem was spelled out in Dr Claire Fuller's 'Stocktake' for NHS England in May, which reported that "there are real signs of genuine and growing discontent with primary care - both from the public who use it and from the professionals who work within it."
Created to help identify and promptly treat patients in hospital at risk from acute kidney injury, the project has led to a reduction in hospital acquired AKI of more than 80%.
Realistically, we have two options: open Electronic Health Record, better known as openEHR and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, or FHIR.
Ian Hogan, a CIO at the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust and Neil Perry, the director of digital transformation at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust, have joined the expert group that acts as a discussion forum for issues relating to digital health and provides advice to the agency and its clients.
