Northampton General Hospital (NGH) NHS Trust has announced the selection of its preferred electronic patient record supplier, with Nervecentre chosen to deliver a ten-year programme to “create exciting new opportunities to transform healthcare services at NGH and propel the trust’s digital capabilities to HIMSS level 5 and beyond.”
The trust aims to begin deployment of the cloud-based EPR in 2025.
NGH’s medical director, Hemant Nemade, states: “We are really excited to be working with Nervecentre as our chosen EPR supplier. This is a significant investment in our hospital to move away from paper patient records supporting an improved patient experience and enhancing our collaboration with healthcare partners by digitising our services.”
From Nervecentre, CEO Paul Volkaerts comments: “I am delighted to welcome Northampton to Nervecentre’s rapidly growing community of EPR customers. It is good to see that clinicians are voting for systems with high levels of usability, and we look forward to a long partnership. The growing number of trusts deploying Nervecentre in the region will help with collaboration and improved flow for regional patient pathways.”
