The Impact of EPR on Healthcare Industry
The NHS has achieved the government’s goal, with 90% of trusts now using an Electronic Patient record in hospitals. Dr. Vin Diwakar from NHS England says going digital is essential for better healthcare.
Why is it important? Because it helps doctors get important information fast, which can save lives. Electronic records can let doctors know what’s going on with a patient. The NHS is changing with more medical information and people with long-term illnesses; this electronic shift is a big part of it.
Family doctors, who have a lot on their plates, really like tools like EPR. It helps them quickly get the info they need and work better with other healthcare teams. As healthcare changes, these electronic records allow doctors to handle tricky patient needs.
NHS did so well in getting EPR in hospitals early. The last 10% of hospitals are getting help to catch up and use this vital tech. Going digital is a big deal in making healthcare better and more efficient.

Why is it essential to use a Standardised EPR system like Cellma?
The Institute of Global Health Innovation (IGHI) found that NHS Trusts operate with at least 21 electronic medical record systems. This results in ineffective information sharing. This revelation comes as almost four million patients received treatment across multiple hospitals between April 2017 and April 2018, encountering incompatible record systems. On 11 million occasions, patients visited hospitals unable to access their complete medical history from previous visits, posing significant risks to patient care and safety.
The study, which analysed data from 152 acute hospital trusts in NHS England, more than 21 million patients over one year, revealed huge difference in electronic record systems’ usage. While 79% of trusts utilised one of 21 commercially available systems, 10% resorted to multiple systems within the same hospital.
Moreover, over half of trusts employing a single system relied on one of only three identified systems. The research, supported by funding from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), The Peter Sowerby Foundation, and the NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), underscores the urgent need for strategies to address concerns of these systems and ensure smooth information exchange for better patient care. Cellma’s EPR system is designed with standardisation in mind, providing a smooth flow of information across different healthcare providers.
