Staff Benefits

The EPR will help staff care for their patients better by making up-to-date information easier to find.

• Empowers staff, and the wider multidisciplinary team, to deliver consistently high-quality care by providing them with the information and insight they need to do their jobs properly.​
• Gives staff more time to care by providing a digital single version of the truth with information drawn from lots of different sources, saving time looking for physical records.​
• Enables safer care by providing collaborative access to notes on a patient’s diagnosis and treatment. This also supports greater continuity of care.​
• Reduces the need for repeating investigations by providing information on historic care that is currently hard to find in paper notes.​
• Will mean it’s less likely for a digital record to be deleted or lost, and it will provide a more robust audit trail.​
• Will provide embedded clinical decision tools to support informed decision-making at the point of care.​
• Will provide secure, non-identifiable data that can be used to support population health management.​
• Will be populated with typed notes so there’s no confusion with handwriting illegibility.​
