Digitising Trusts

NHS trusts have a legal responsibility to retain clinical records securely for many years, and in some cases, longer than the patient's lifetime.

The sheer volume of paper records and the associated costs of storage, transport, handling and retrieval make this a crucial issue that needs a clear resolution - because it compounds the challenges to provide immediate, multi-location and simultaneous access to clinical records.

While electronic document and records management systems (EDRMS) are a mature solution, they are perceived as expensive to deploy. Controlling costs is therefore as important as the practical benefits EDRMS delivers.

Atos Healthcare has addressed both these concerns by developing a low start-up cost and low ongoing cost service called Digitising Trusts. It provides the opportunity for acute trusts and health boards to manage clinical and non-clinical records extremely efficiently to deliver:

Immediate and simultaneous access to clinical records
Significantly reduced photocopying, transport and handling costs
Reclaimed hospital building space
Preparation of a single electronic patient record
Fewer lost, misfiled or duplicated records.

We also offer excellent support based on years of document management experience:

Secure storage and delivery of clinical records in electronic form
Patient notes available online
Guidance on document/records capture
Management and disposal of electronic records throughout their lifecycle.

In addition to the clinical records, we can provide an equivalent service for the management of procurement, HR and other non-clinical departmental documents and records in an electronic format.
