In this episode, we dive into the bold digital journey of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust as they roll out a fully integrated Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. From a sweeping “big-bang” go-live to replacing every legacy system, we unpack how strong Board-level leadership made it all possible.
You'll hear how this transformation improved patient safety and data accuracy, cut costs by going paperless, and streamlined workflows across the Trust. We also explore how UHCW tackled challenges like cyber security, data migration, and redesigning clinical processes—while keeping patients engaged through a dedicated portal.
Plus, we discuss the importance of digital leadership, the power of real-time reporting, and how tools like an Electronic Document Management System and a Population Health Management platform are shaping a data-driven culture within the NHS.
