The hospital’s Meditech contract expires November 2019, and the move to Cerner’s Millennium EHR will put it on the same records system as the Wirral University Teaching Hospital, which serves as Countess of Chester Hospital’s global digital exemplar in the U.K.’s fast follower hospital innovation program.
“It is our duty to provide safe, kind and effective care for the people of West Cheshire and shifting our processes from analogue to digital is a huge part of that,” Chief Executive Tony Chambers told Digital Health. “Every day the NHS operates at the forefront of science clinically, but so much of the technology being used to support that is outdated. This represents another huge step towards our goal of becoming the model hospital.”
Twenty-two NHS trusts in England use Cerner Millennium.
