Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), the main provider of hospital care to approximately 750,000 people in the Manchester and Trafford area, has selected Hyland Healthcare’s OnBase content services platform and PACSgear Video-Touch 4k solution to support the trust’s digitisation strategy and help provide comprehensive care
As part of the Trust’s Hive EPR transformation programme, the strategic decision was made to consolidate more than 750 electronic and paper record systems across its hospital sites and managed clinical services with a new electronic medical record, powered by Epic. MFT chose the OnBase platform and enterprise-class PACSgear image capture and connectivity solution to complement this Epic system and achieve digital strategies.
OnBase, PACSgear and Epic will integrate across the health system to provide MFT staff with the tools needed to continue to deliver outstanding patient care, optimise the clinical experiences and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
Jo Smith, MFT Group Chief Informatics Officer, said: “The low-code OnBase platform integrates with more than 30 Epic modules to provide a more accurate and complete patient record, ensuring providers at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust have the information they need to make the most informed decisions and provide the best care.”
As a premier content services solution provider for healthcare organisations, Hyland Healthcare’s OnBase integration for Epic allows healthcare organisations to better manage all content including clinical forms, images or videos in a secure format at the patient, order and encounter level for improved accuracy.
The solution also creates one, complete patient-centric record linking all patient information, content and data from within the core application and making MFT’s Epic application a true single source for patient information.
Mark Groesch, Director of Hyland Healthcare International Sales, added: “By leveraging the tested and validated OnBase integration for Epic, and PACSgear image and video capture solution, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is extending the value of its Epic investment, incorporating additional essential information management functionality from within the Epic system to further streamline processes across the organisation and its multiple facilities.”
