The EPR team were innovative and worked collaboratively across programme and clinical workflows, to achieve what our Chief Digital Officer called ‘the smoothest roll out [he’d] ever seen.’ It was also a global first – Medway were the first organisation to go live with the latest version of Allscripts Sunrise EPR, enriching the Allscripts blueprint for other trusts to follow in the future.

The Government response to the report of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety, published July 2021, states “Patient reported measures such as Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) should become common currency in the assessment of the benefits and risks of current and new interventions” and ""Every interaction the patient has with a health service provider should be captured once only and by one or other data subset, ideally in the electronic health record. The NHS number should be included to enable those subsets to be linked. Commercial electronic options can be very costly for each NHS organisation with little opportunity to customise, evolve or expand. They often have a degree of vendor lock-in with inability to extract the stored data in a useful format, and little interoperability with existing I.T systems. Instead of using commercial software, we can develop an open one collectively, reducing cost and delivering a best in class solution designed by its users. Developed in partnership with clinicians and PROMs experts, openOutcomes will be open source and based on open standards, as required by the NHS service standards. We have already completed approximately 25% of the development as a collaborative project run by a team of public, private and not-for-profit organisations, crowd funded by NHS organisations. openOutcomes will increase compliance for completion of PROMs questionnaires by allowing patients to submit them via their mobile device or computer and include ability to automatically submit PROMs data to national registries with appropriate consent and permissions. Advanced reporting will allow outcomes to be evaluated at patient, clinician and population levels. ![]() Kanthan Theivendran - Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Sandwell & West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust Speaker biography Kanthan Theivendran is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Sandwell & West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust and is the upper limb and Research lead within the department.

Session 2 11:10 - 11:45 11:10-11:15 Welcome from Chair ![]() Charlie McCay - Non-Executive Director, PRSB 11:15-11:20 Sharing diagnostic information across boundaries The need for a fully interoperable network to share comprehensive patient reports quickly and securely internally and between trusts and GPs across regional boundaries is now seen as an essential requirement. Clinicians need to be assured that complete patient diagnostic data is being shared and have confidence that they are providing patients with the highest quality patient-centric care. Providing such an interoperable network will save clinical teams valuable time as they will no longer need to contact neighbouring providers for recent investigation results. Patients can be treated more efficiently as results can be checked regardless of where they were performed. By removing data silos previously inaccessible to the clinician, ICE provides an enhanced picture of the patient’s diagnostic journey by delivering a consolidated view of results for the patient from all care-settings. ![]() Paul Cameron - Account Director, CliniSys Speaker biography Paul Cameron is an Account Director with over a decade of experience in Healthcare IT, the last 6 years being spent with CliniSys.

11:20-11:25 Clinical data management at UK kidney transplant centres: complex, chaotic, creative Kidney transplantation is a complex, cross-speciality and multi-centre clinical service. Health IT has the potential to support data management, communication and national registration. However, there is currently little understanding of the front-line use of IT at UK transplant centres. This limits digital transformation strategies, and –in turn— improvement of care and outcomes. We have undertaken a regional data journey modelling exercise, a national interview study and codesigned a prototype solution. We identified that digital transformation should focus on the need to surface patient data across organisational boundaries and provide speciality-specific views that complement workflow. We conclude how regional interoperability remains the priority to support tertiary services. ![]() Videha Sharma - PhD Health Informatics, University of Manchester & Topol Fellow Speaker biography Videha is a Specialist Trainee in Transplant Surgery undertaking a PhD in Health Informatics.

With waiting lists now at record levels, it is increasingly important that we are able to engage effectively with patients to ensure that we understand their patient’s needs and preferences, and that where possible, we are able to offer services to help the patient actively managing their condition during the waiting period. In other words, we need to provide patients with the sort of regular communication and touchpoints that are common in their dealings with commercial enterprises. Patients need to know an estimated timeline, be updated when a firmer idea of admission is in place, and – importantly – maintain a dialogue throughout their elective care journey, ensuring they are able to contact the right clinician at the right time in the event of a query, quickly and efficiently. Enabling this level of communication, keeping patients updated on their journey through the system. would help the NHS more efficiently address the backlog. The software that could help support it is already well established in other sectors: the customer relationship management (CRM) system. Introducing this to healthcare would not mean ripping out existing IT systems such as patient administration systems or electronic patient records. Instead, the patient engagement layer it sits seamlessly on top of other systems, pulling information in where necessary and sharing it where helpful. That means we believe organisations can quickly implement the software that will underpin a fundamental change in patient communication, with all the attendant benefits of that for patients and for the system. ![]() Jane Tyacke - Director of Strategy & Business Development , Salesforce Speaker biography Jane has over 25 years of experience of working in the digital healthcare arena.

11:20-11:25 Quality Improvement using nursing data from the EPR As we have moved from paper to electronic documentation, so our audits and quality improvement cycles have also changed. No longer are we auditing a small selection of patients and making assumptions about the quality of care, we are now able to audit large volumes of patients’ data across multiple hospital sites to identify trends and opportunities from improvement. Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust has instigated a process of electronic harm free care audits using metrics and data all sourced automatically from the EPR. we have devised 3 pillars to digital nursing documentation, and the audit processes that support them. The linking together of data in the electronic record means better quality improvement has occurred, which is also more sustained. As we do this new skills sets have become apparent for nursing. No longer are we just bystanders in the electronic record space, but often part of the team configuring the applications and writing the audit scripts. Being able to translate the clinical ask into the digital speak is a key part of the digital nurse work, and as applications become more developed the need for a greater understanding of the digital side will be higher. ![]() James Bird - CNIO & Deputy Director of Nursing, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Speaker biography James Bird is the Chief Nurse Information Officer / Deputy Director of Nursing for Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
