Second NHS Trust Goes Live with Meditech Expanse EPR System
Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust has successfully implemented the Meditech Expanse electronic patient record system. This web-based EPR offers a range of features including mobile workflows, real-time updates, access to historical data, and patient engagement tools. Chief Digital and Information Officer, Kate Warriner, highlights the EPR’s role in enhancing care coordination and supporting innovation within the trust. Alder Hey’s commitment to digital transformation is further demonstrated by their upcoming implementation of Meditech’s Expanse Oncology system and Surveillance analytics tool. Meditech’s associate VP of customer product support commends Alder Hey for their innovative approach to healthcare. Achieving HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 accreditation and being the first specialist trust in the UK to go live with Expanse showcases Alder Hey’s dedication to improving patient care through technology.
Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust was the first to go live with Meditech Expanse, with other trusts like East Cheshire and Mid Cheshire Hospitals planning to deploy the system later this year. The positive impact of Expanse is evident across various healthcare organizations, including the Norfolk and Waveney collaborative and South Tyneside and Sunderland Trust.
