Egton Medical Information Systems
EMIS international Egton Medical Information Systems (EMIS) provides medical IT systems throughout the world. One idea shared by two clinicians from Yorkshire in the 1980s kick-started the creation of Egton Medical Information Systems. The idea: that technology can be used to give clinicians access to complete and shared medical records, no matter where patients present for care.What followed was the development of our first clinical IT system and an ever-growing passion for making information instantly available at the point of care.
Fast forward to today and although over 30 years of experience have expanded our scope – and while our name has evolved into the catchier EMIS Health – our motivations are much the same. We’re still clinically led, with experienced clinicians working throughout our organisation and advising us on what we do. And we’re still striving to develop the best possible technology so that healthcare professionals can do their jobs effectively – and can ultimately improve patient health.
These aims have played a big part in why we’ve grown so much. They’ve driven us to develop dozens of clinical IT solutions, acquire multiple organisations – including Rx Systems, Ascribe, Indigo 4 and Dovetail Lab – that bolster what we do, and hire thousands of driven individuals who ensure we continue to evolve.
Today, our technology is used by over 10,000 different organisations. In fact, our technology is the number one choice in primary care and community pharmacies, and is the number two choice in hospices, specialist services, and secondary and community care.
Getting to the heart of how to best help every one of these organisations is important to us. To do this, we not only hone our existing technology, but also create new solutions and work with over 100 different partner organisations who offer a range of tools that connect with our clinical software. Then, to top it all off, we back everything up with our market-leading training and support.
You play a big role in how we shape every part of this. From the National User Group (NUG) and the Healthcare User Group (HUG) to those representing community pharmacy and acute staff, we work with user groups of all levels. Every single one of these organisations ensures that health and care professionals can have their say on how we develop and evolve our solutions.
When you combine all of these things together, it turns out that we’re in a pretty perfect position to help. From providing patient-facing services to improving mobile working and access to real-time clinical data, we’re making a difference to the lives of millions of patients and clinicians right now.
