(Fife, UK) NHS Fife has signed up to a new patient information system that will share essential information securely across organisations and geographical boundaries.
Edwards told BJ-HC that the new system has many benefits moving forward. He said: “Across the health boards in Scotland, we have all decided on this approach. This new system is a modern platform and a converged platform for our people. It is also a known quantity so it will minimise training needs.
“This will enable one modern platform to integrate the whole system. We will also be able to carry out orders from clinicians within the new system and we see this as a huge benefit.
“It will also link with our clinical portal, which is an application that lets you see what is happening within the system.
“Sharing of information is one of the biggest benefits. Ultimately it will allow us to have just one dialogue in NHS Scotland to a supplier, instead of having 14 or 15 conversations through every board in Scotland. It makes life easier for all concerned.” For the full article click here
