4.5 million to be saved over a 10 year period by adopting e-records Multi site, multi user access to notes now available to clinicians Joining an increasing number of NHS Trusts who have now addressed the challenging job of digitising their vast medical records libraries to save money, improve efficiency and enhance patient care, Kodak Alaris announces that County Durham & Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has completed a project to deploy a new electronic medical records (EMR) system throughout the organisation to provide clinical staff access to notes via desktop PCs and mobile devices.
The new EMR system comprises various components including Civica WinDIP records management software, with the actual notes digitised using ibml’s high performance ImageTrac production scanners and SoftTrac Capture software. Kofax software has been used to classify document images from the ImageTrac system. In addition, a data warehouse storage system was created to store all the images funded by the Trust’s IT department.
