Worcestershire Acute NHS Trust has rapidly deployed Altera Digital Health’s Sunrise EPR solution across its three hospital sites; Worcestershire Royal, Kidderminster Hospital and Alexandra Hospital. This has enabled the trust to quickly embark upon its digital transformation journey, improving patient safety and streamlining clinical workflows.
The system, which went live in January, has been successfully deployed across the trusts 56 inpatient wards. It is expected to improve patient safety, release time to care, and reduce length of stay.
Despite the recency of the go-live, benefits of the implementation are already being realised. Tracking boards are improving visibility of patients, enabling clinicians to prioritise patients based on their clinical need, and handwritten notes are now electronically inputted, eliminating the risk of illegible entries, saving time that was spent rewriting or interpreting notes.
“Clinicians can now see every patient’s National Early Warning Score (NEWS), so more effective decisions can be made more quickly. Clinical time, now more than ever, is precious so being able to release time to care is really benefiting patients, improving the standards of care they are receiving.”
