RLBUHT - Paper Free Health Record: Another Successful Go-live

Fortrus and the PFHR team at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital continue on their journey to make Paper Free working a reality.

The bespoke software application being developed specifically for the Trust will enable clinicians to access digital medical records that consist of structured and unstructured data.

As part of the first phase of the PFHR programme, the Cardiology department went live with electronic notes throughout In-Patient and Out-Patient departments, in addition to Clinical Pharmacology and Infectious Diseases. This week it has been the Diabetes department that have been embracing the transition to Paper Free working.

The 18th July will see Unity go live at Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospital NHS Trust, Unity will be used to view all patient case notes in the Trust's new Paper Free environment.

Unity will enable the paper free health record (PFHR) to be rolled out throughout the Trust. Giving clinicians access to digital medical records that consist of structured and unstructured data. The scope of this project will enable the Trust to transition from paper-based working methods to digital ways of working.

Unity will not only improve the user’s access to information, it will also improve their ability to record information about a patient.

The PFHR is not only a software application; it is also a multitude of technologies and services brought together by Fortrus to deliver an outcome.
