Challenge

The Trust had been searching for a health IT vendor that would deliver an on-time and on-budget implementation. As the procurement team evaluated electronic patient records (EPRs), it struggled to find one that supported its Quality Improvement Strategy that focuses on delivering exceptional, personalized care in a safe, clean environment to every patient, every time.

Results

With Allscripts help, the Trust was able to achieve:

• An average 10.3% reduction in days for elective admissions and an average 3.4% reduction in days for non-elective admissions
• Improved consistency with evidence-based best practices, including higher compliance with antibiotic prescribing procedures for Clostridium difficile
• Safer medication administration processes that reduced time patients spent waiting for prescriptions.
