Somerset Foundation Trust: Successful Integration of the Better Meds ePMA and Electronic Prescribing Service Into the Somerset Integrated Digital e-Record System

The trust implemented a groundbreaking ePMA integration project, seamlessly connecting medication management across acute, community health and mental health services. Integrated with the Somerset Integrated Digital e-Record (SIDeR) and the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS), this system enhances patient care by providing clinicians with real-time access to comprehensive medication data. The project reduces medication errors, saves significant clinical time, and generates substantial cost savings. By extending integration to neighbouring integrated care boards such as Dorset, it ensures continuity of care across regions. This initiative exemplifies the potential for digital transformation to improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare delivery.
