Electronic Patient Records (EPRs) are revolutionising the integration and efficiency of healthcare services. Within Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), EPRs are critical for creating a connected, efficient and patient-centred healthcare future. By centralising patient data across various healthcare settings, EPRs eliminate silos and promote interoperability, enhancing service delivery and aligning with strategic healthcare goals for a more integrated approach to patient care. For ICSs, robust EPR systems offer numerous benefits. They support the transformation needed for integrated care models, aiding service planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and patient engagement. EPRs provide a unified platform that enables efficient and effective delivery of healthcare services, aligning with the strategic objectives set by healthcare authorities. ICBs benefit from the enhanced management, … Continue reading Transforming healthcare: The role of EPRs in integrated care
