WINNER

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton (UHDB) and Chesterfield Royal Hospital (CRH)

Thousands of patients are benefiting from new, joint electronic patient record across six hospitals through quality and safety improvements and millions of hours released back to care

Our new EPR has streamed current processes and reduced the amount of time staff spend completing paperwork, and is estimated to deliver 4.9 million hours back to patient care for staff across both trusts over the course of seven years.
