The organisation named the EPR project ‘Aldercare.’
As one of Europe’s biggest and busiest children’s hospitals,
Alder Hey selected MEDITECH’s Expanse Electronic Patient Record
(EPR) to support its widespread innovation goals which include
improving patient care and the clinician’s experience. For
clinicians, Expanse provides mobility, personalised workflows, and
built-in analytics reporting that will enhance efficiency and user
satisfaction. Patient engagement is supported by enabling access to
their health data via the Patient and Consumer Health Portal or
MHealth app. Through these tools, patients are also able to self
schedule appointments and pre-register.
“The EPR is a foundational piece of our technology puzzle,” said
Alder Hey Chief Digital and Information Officer Kate Warriner. “It
provides built-in tools to improve quality outcomes, support
patient engagement, and enhance care coordination. Additionally,
the interoperable platform will support new technologies as we
continue our longstanding commitment to innovation.”
One of its future goals is to implement Expanse Oncology. The
outpatient solution connects the entire care team through
specialty-specific workflows, evidence-based decision support, and
mobile access to patient data. The organisation plans to introduce
MEDITECH’s predictive Surveillance solution, which analyses data in
real time to help identify high risk patients and alert care teams
for early intervention and improved outcomes.
“Alder Hey exemplifies how an organisation can combine
innovation and technology to transform healthcare for patients and
providers,” said MEDITECH Associate Vice President, Customer
Product Support and International Michael Malone. “We look forward
to continuing to work together as they harness the infinite
opportunities for advancement that Expanse provides.”
A MEDITECH customer for more than 25 years, Alder Hey was the
first specialist Trust in the UK and the first paediatric hospital
in Europe to earn HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 for its use of digital
technology to enhance patient care. It is one of Europe’s biggest
and busiest children’s hospitals, caring for more than 330,000
children, young people, and families each year. As a teaching and
training hospital, the Trust also provides education and training
to 900 medical and more than 800 nursing and allied health
professional students each year.
