Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust has signed a deal with Alcidion to implement two new technologies from the company to support emergency department staff.
The trust will introduce Miya Emergency, a solution to provide clinical decision support functionality, that ‘proactively suggests appropriate actions and automates routine tasks for clinical teams’.
The second tool, Provation iPro, an anaesthesia information management system, will also be introduced, which will see the trust move away from a paper-based process.
Commenting on the project, Neil Perry, Director of digital transformation at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust, said: “From day one, our digital transformation has been focussed on delivering what our clinicians need. Clinicians working in areas like our A&E and theatres are under continual pressure.
“Deploying technologies that can alleviate clinical burden and make data more useful, is an important step on our journey. I look forward to seeing Miya Emergency and Provation iPro in action and helping our clinical teams respond to the demands they face.”
Lynette Ousby, UK managing director for Alcidion, added: “Dartford and Gravesham is proof that a modern, modular EPR strategy can provide the tools clinical teams need, when they need them.
“This is about deploying technology that helps to make the right thing to do, the easiest thing to do, and providing trusts with the flexibility they need, so that digitisation addresses organisational priorities in the right order.”
