Testimonials

When you access the ECR, a patient's allergies just hit you in the face, you don't need to go looking for them, and in emergency situations time is precious

I don't need to spend time on the phone getting through to the receptionist three times a day anymore. It saves me at least 30 minutes a day

It helps when clerking for ECDU as current meds and doses can now be found

If a patient is unconscious we can find out more information about them and the (system) can help with their possible diagnosis

Clinician

The (system) keeps a record of Allergies and this is very important information when prescribing other medications

A&E Consultant

It's fantastic for us on the admissions unit. We used to request GP faxes from surgeries to obtain medical histories and we had to wait for the faxes to come through, which delayed our work and supply of patient's medication.
It's fantastic

South Staffordshire Health Informatics Service staff worked closely with clinicians and administrators in the Trust to identify what was needed and how it should work. Graphnet provided specialist XML expertise and experience of building health systems and I believe we have, together, created a really effective patient information system that works well with the national programme

Director of Finance and Performance

The new electronic record allows appropriate colleagues to find the patient's story without them having to tell it all over again, either when they are in crisis, or for a simple enquiry. Colleagues can communicate with each other about progress and events easily and promptly, enhancing timely care
