Stated action · 2017
“The Trust is currently in the process of installing an electronic patient record system (EPR); this is a computerised version of the entire healthcare record. Instead of hospital staff using a mixture of paper and electronic records, information will be available to them online in one place. We already use a variety of electronic systems to help staff look after our patients but the EPR will bring all this information about our patients together into one system for better and safer care.”
