NHS Humber Health Partnership, covering Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust, has announced its selection of the ORBIS U EPR solution by Dedalus.
Sharing on LinkedIn, the trust celebrated the “significant milestone” the EPR represents in helping both trusts improve the experience of staff and patients across the Northern and North-East Lincolnshire, Hull and East Yorkshire regions.
The partnership highlighted the upcoming procurement earlier this year, noting that the end of the Frontline Digitisation programme will mean an up-front payment to the successful supplier will be required, and as such, the full business case for the EPR will proceed iteratively to ensure approvals in time to sign contracts.
Mike Lee, general manager healthcare at Dedalus Group, shared the intent to work “collegiately and constructively” with the trusts to build on the partnership’s vision, priorities, and local expertise. He added: “From the Dedalus Executive Board through to our regional leadership, delivery, and clinical teams, we are fully committed to working in partnership to support a successful implementation and to help enable the outcomes that matter most to clinicians, staff, and patients across Northern and North-East Lincolnshire, Hull, and East Yorkshire.”
Wider trend: EPR
A recent HTN Now panel discussion explored EPR customisations for the frontline and how digital transformation can support the direction set in the 10 Year Health Plan. We discussed optimisation, challenges and key learnings from success stories shared by our experts. Panellists included Doctor Stephen Jones, principal clinical psychologist at Sheffield Children’s Hospital; David Wong, associate professor of health data science and health informatics at Leeds University; Mark Simpson, digital innovation leader at Leeds Community Healthcare; and Michael Odling-Smee, CEO at Aire Innovate.
Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust has selected the Nervecentre electronic patient record as its preferred supplier, following a tender process. The trust becomes the eleventh acute trust to select the EPR, with neighbouring trusts, Harrogate and District deploying the platform and York and Scarborough planning to go live early next year.
The board of York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has shared an update on progress around EPR implementation, next steps, and future focuses for digital. Overall progress is reported as “in line with plan”, with go-live of the first tranche due to begin on 27 February 2026, including observations, clinical documentation for inpatients, urgent & emergency care, electronic prescribing and medicine administration, and read-only diagnostic results. The second tranche, which contains full order comms, is set to go live on 30 June, 2026, with the third to follow on 30 October.
