WINNER: Alder Hey Children’s FT– Global Digital Exemplar and HIMSS 6 Accreditation

Alder Hey’s Digital Futures Strategy outlines its ambition to become Europe’s most digitally mature children’s trust, as rated by staff and children. The hospital was one of 16 acute trusts awarded a place on the Global Digital Exemplar programme. HIMSS is a seven-stage model used to measure digital maturity and achieving HIMSS Level 6 was a requirement for GDE accreditation.

The digital team said they knew this was an unmissable opportunity to enhance patient safety and clinician experience. A substantial amount of transformation has taken place to achieve this and Alder Hey has now been accredited as a GDE site.
