It explains how your login reflects your role. Access is linked to your Trust account and set by your job role, the area you work in and where you are based.
See how the patient chart is the hub for everything about a patient, including summaries, activity, trends and clinical documentation.
Doctors will use the acute status board, a rounds list showing key information at a glance. Nurses, allied health professionals and healthcare assistants will work mainly from the patient care status board, with lists of patients under their care and the next interventions due. Admin staff may have different access to the patient record, reached from the registration screens.
The demo explains how our EPR is more than a computer version of the brown folder. Administrative processes, how medicines are prescribed and administered, and day-to-day care on wards and in outpatients will all change.
