Mission 1: Digitally enabled clinical services

Mission parameters This mission focuses on enabling clinical services through the Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform known as CWP. The Christie develop CWP and keeping this approach is central to our strategy. In future CWP will be built in ‘modules’ which will allow more complex functionality to be purchased and added into CWP. The openEHR standard will be used to ensure quality data is pre-modelled for research. The current version of CWP is feature rich but still lacks some of the main features NHS-E highlight we should have, such as ordering and medicines management. The Digital Strategy prioritises these gaps.

Why? • You will have the ability to order pathology tests from within CWP, removing paper based processes and unnecessary switching between systems. • Your prescription, administration and reporting on medications will be in CWP. This will reduce prescribing errors and make charts and medicines information more accessible and legible. • You will get improved eforms and fewer forms as we consolidate, making it easier to record patient information and easier to use that information for research.
