An overview of the possible

A Personal summary vision for what an 

Electronic Health Record might do for us!

Reducing the complexity of health and wellbeing to something that you can understand, in a new way that provides everybody with a better appreciation of what is going on, how things get done and where they happen.

·       Patient Centred Model of Care

·       Patient held digital record

·       Care Delivery that is Mobile, Agile, as close to home as possible

·       Prioritisation of Patient Outcomes and Experience

·       Patients facilitated to manage their own self-care in an integrated supported network

 

 

We intend to design and introduce a multifunctional tool that will and collect provide health and social care information so that better and faster decisions about how, where and why care is delivered can be made by both patients clients and their carers as well as care professionals.

·       Better information, better decisions, better outcomes, excellent experience

·       Single platform for all, with appropriate user based access

·       Access to fit for purpose devices, linked to fast networks, with suite of clinical and care application solutions, robust data management, secure storage.

This tool will use information and computers to do more than one thing at a time, in newly designed ways that are safer and more complete than in the past, saving you time, and giving the people on clinical and care teams more time to talk with you and to better explain what is happening. New smarter ways of working will be constantly compared to the best results worldwide and will be kept up to date no matter which part of Northern Ireland you life in.

·       Support standardised, care professional designed intuitive pathways with computerised supported workflow that is automated, measured and reported.

·       Allow information to be entered at the point of care once and only once, reducing duplication.

·       Ensure clinical analytics supports frontline service delivery

·       Actively drive care decision support and evidence based practice as this will be built into and actively manage integrated pathways of care

·       Real-time clinical and care analytics and dashboards

·       Productive well informed and well supported workforce

   

We want people to come first, every time, smarter ways of doing things will let us do more, and at the same time allow us to show more clearly what we do, how well we do it and importantly to ask you how you think we are doing.
