We’re delighted to present our finalists for the category of “Best solution for clinicians”:
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust: Automated vital signs integration at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust
Overview: The Trust implemented a fully automated process for capturing and recording vital signs. Through a collaboration between the device provider (Welch Allyn), the EPR vendor, and the Trust’s internal teams, vital signs are transmitted directly from the Welch Allyn devices, through the Trust Integration Engine, into the EPR in real-time.
What happened? The solution includes seamless device-to-EPR integration, real-time data availability on patient flowsheets and ward tracking boards, and retention of manual workflows as a fall-back for resilience during downtime. The rollout followed a carefully phased approach featuring co-development with frontline clinical staff, pilot implementation on a single ward, iterative feedback loops, and collaboration across multiple departments. Since implementation, the Trust has seen substantial improvements, with time-in-motion studies showing a three-minute time saving per observation, equating to approximately 30 minutes saved per observation round on a typical ward. Observations now appear in the EPR within one minute, down from an average of 45 minutes. Earlier identification of deteriorating patients enables faster escalation and improved clinical outcomes, whilst reduced paperwork and transcription allows staff to focus on direct patient care. Availability of structured, real-time data supports capacity planning and patient flow management, and the solution supports national NEWS2 standards and enhances clinical information governance. The model is now being shared with neighbouring Trusts as a regional exemplar of best practice.
Consultant Connect LTD: e-RS Connect: Speeding up A&G for everyone
What happened? University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust identified the need for a more streamlined version of e-RS A&G to save time and allow remote clinicians to support services at peak times. Built using NHS e-RS APIs, e-RS Connect links the NHS’s referral backbone with Consultant Connect’s A&G platform. The system enhances e-RS’s capabilities to enable specialists to review and return referrals with advice, convert A&G requests into referrals, or ask for additional information. The solution was designed to be flexible, configurable, and scalable. It offers functionality of bespoke data collection fields per specialty, immediate downloadable reporting, and an EPR integration add-on. To date, more than 4,000 A&G requests have been processed by clinicians within nine specialties at 10 NHS Trusts.
