Liverpool PCT in final of prestigious industry award
11 December 2007: Liverpool PCT's electronic patient management and clinical consultation system across four of the city's Walk in Centres (WiCs) has achieved finalist status from the healthcare industry's most prominent event, the BT e-Health Insider Awards. The award recognised innovation in the application of technology at the leading edge of healthcare delivery.
The solution, developed in partnership with Clinical Solutions, has enabled the walk-in centres to act effectively as one virtual care centre working from four different locations, including the country's first specialist paediatric Walk in Centre.
The ICT team at Liverpool PCT partnered with Clinical Solutions to provide a single integrated patient management and clinical consultation system, which would facilitate the transfer of electronic medical records onto a central database to be viewed and accessed by all four sites. The key driver for this was the ability to access patients' healthcare records and their history of care anywhere in the city.
Richard Craven, Global Sales and Marketing Director of Clinical Solutions enthused, "We are delighted for Liverpool to be a finalist of such a highly regarded award. The ICT team has shown us all what is achievable with integration; working with Clinical Solutions, it's leading the way with joined-up healthcare in the UK."
The award ceremony took place in November, at 195 Piccadilly, the headquarters of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in London.
