Nervecentre’s EPR selected by United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

Nervecentre has been selected by United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (ULTH) as its preferred Electronic Patient Record (EPR) supplier. It will become the eighth acute trust to join Nervecentre’s cloud-native EPR platform.

The Trust will deploy Nervecentre on the company’s integrated EPR platform, which has a software-as-a-service (SaaS) architecture. ULTH is part of the East Midlands Acute Provider network (EMAP) and will join this single platform alongside five other EMAP member trusts, and also York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals and Harrogate and District NHS trusts.

Nervecentre’s modern technologies will enable collaboration between trusts and the wider care system whilst maintaining localised control and autonomy. The availability of accurate data will drive service transformation at scale, facilitate system-level redesign, and empower clinicians to work across providers.

The next-generation EPR will help ULTH achieve its ambition to become a paper-lite organisation with digital patient records that are available whenever and wherever they are needed, including external stakeholders such as patients themselves, GPs and social services. The trust’s clinicians will have access to live electronic patient records on mobile devices at the patient’s bedside, contributing to safe and efficient care.

Michael Humber, Chief Digital Information Officer at United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (ULTH) said:

“By making better use of technology we will have the opportunity to focus on improving care for patients, increasing patient safety and improving ways of working across all healthcare providers with the aim to improve patient experience. Once it is introduced, subject to contracts and national approval of the Full Business Case, the EPR will begin to be rolled out across our Trust.

“I am delighted that we have our preferred supplier identified and are closer to the transformative change that the EPR will bring for our Trust. Whilst the EPR is a digital tool, the benefits go far beyond the digital arena and will enable positive changes that will transform our services for patients and improve the working lives of healthcare staff across our region.”

“Nervecentre is rapidly becoming the EPR of choice”, said Paul Volkaerts, Nervecentre CEO. “Its full-breadth functionality, class-leading usability, and collaborative capabilities will encourage safe and efficient care across the region’s providers.”
