A pioneering initiative at the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, delivered in partnership with Kainos, has saved over £700,000 a year in late-submission fines by ensuring that GPs receive a written update within 24 hours of a patient leaving hospital.
The solution electronically captures complete clinical information about a patient during their hospital visit - including diagnoses, co-morbidities, investigation and results, procedures and treatments, medications and any follow-up arrangements. A full summary of this information can then be issued promptly to the patient’s GP by traditional mail or NHS mail.
"The clinicians use Evolve every day. We have requests all the time for additional functionality so they don’t have to use different systems to find information or complete tasks. They just want to use Evolve for everything."
