The Care and Health Information Exchange (CHIE), which started as the Hampshire Health Record 17 years ago, successfully completed the move in March and saw usage increase to a record 130,000 patient records viewed in June.
They are being asked to prepare for more COVID-19 and a difficult winter. To recover the backlog of elective care that has developed over the past 18-months. To change in response to the arrival of integrated care systems and their agenda of more joined-up, more person-centred care.
The funding will support its five-year digital strategy, which aims to take the trust from a HIMSS rating of around 0.02 to level 6 in five years, as well as supporting its involvement in the region’s shared care record.
Political will to move away from data being locked-in by deployed electronic patient record (EPR) systems has been reinforced in the NHSX draft strategy 'Data Saves Lives'.
The development means healthcare organisations looking to deploy Epic have the option, for the first time, to run the electronic patient record in the cloud.
