Job description

Overview

Since going live with the Cerner PAS in Apr 2014, the Trust has embarked on a journey to digitise clinical records. The Cerner EPR is now in use across the organisation by all clinical services. Following the success of this project, the Chelsea and Westminster, Imperial, London Northwest and Hillindgon Trust Boards have decided to share the same instance of Cerner. The NHS England’s Global Digital Exemplar (GDE) programme provided access to funding and enabled the Trusts to progress their digital strategy far more rapidly than before. As a result of a successful partnership, all 4 Trusts are now running a join clinical systems programme to maximise the opportunities that come with sharing the same Cerner EPR domains.

The clinical systems programme at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, Chelsea & Westminster NHS Foundation Trust, London Northwest University Healthcare NHS Trust and Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will focus on a series of projects to improve care across the patient pathways in the outpatients, inpatient elective, inpatient non-elective and emergency settings.
