The implementation of a new Meditech electronic patient record system is now under way at Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust.
Reports have suggested the implementation of the first phase across Rotherham Hospital over the Diamond Jubilee weekend went “smoothly” with the implementation set to continue over the coming weeks. Phase one incorporated real time bed management including admissions, transfers and discharges, order communications and results, outpatient letters to GPs, discharge summaries.
Subsequent phases will be rolled out over the next 18 months, with the trust eventually aiming to move to a paperless operation.
