OpenText and Fortrus: Delivering Integrated Digital Care

Join us on June 28th to find out how


NHS Trusts are under increasing pressure to reduce costs whilst working more collaboratively both internally and externally.

All NHS trusts have multiple systems managing a wide range of clinical data. Some will still be widely used, others maintained as they contain historic information.

The proliferation of these systems also poses wider problems for Trusts. How do they provide access to all patient information – historical as well as current, when it is needed at the point of care?

This complexity means the overall cost of managing these systems is significant.

Furthermore, the NHS have traditionally been sold by the IT Industry confusing and overlapping solution concepts such as; EPR, EMR, IDCR*, Portals and EDM, to name but a few.  The Unity Integrated Digital Care Record is different; it’s a bespoke solution that blends the functionality of all of the above concepts into a single Digital Roadmap, delivered in modules, via a phased approach.  Unity enables Trusts to ‘go-digital’ without ripping and replacing current systems, or implementing costly EPRs.

Working in partnership OpenText and Fortrus have proven solutions (Clinical Archive and Unity IDCR*) which can extract and manage all clinical data from a single repository and present that through a unique and intuitive User Interface.  Ensuring that information can then be accessed by clinicians on all common devices providing easy access to all medical information. This allows the trust to confidently decommission legacy systems, significantly reducing their costs.

OpenText and Fortrus are working in partnership to enable our Health and Social Care clients to not only meet, but exceed the paperless 2020 target.

*Unity IDCR is a fully NHS compliant solution that digitally displays patient records within a new and user-friendly bespoke portal. This replaces the traditional patient record in that it not only displays the paper record electronically, but can also display any other information held about that patient on any other specialist system within the organisation. This means that staff delivering care have a single view of all the information relating to the patient and can access that information via Unity IDCR on a desktop or mobile device.

By using the Unity search tools, a clinician can quickly view data by attendance, document type, date or specialty for example. This allows clinicians to find information far more efficiently and effectively, ensuring minimal distraction from their daily routine, providing a single view of the record, instead of having to scan through paper case notes and electronic systems to gather all the relevant information about the care received.

The Medical Records library staff gain immediate efficiency savings in tracking, pulling, re-filing, preparing, auditing and locating the health records. The automation of this file tracking process will also release clinic-side staff from this administrative chore, therefore making more patient-facing time available.

Unity has been delivered to numerous NHS Trusts to aggregate information from multiple systems, and provide bespoke user interfaces that have been created through engagement with the users.  The role of IT within healthcare has to be a practical one and it has to enhance the needs of the users, fitting in with the way they practice and with their specific care pathway.
