The impact of loosing a medical record
For decades, the healthcare industry has recognised that their current system of paper-based patient records is not sustainable. A typical hospital maintains about 45 million individual paper documents that must be stored and archived in a searchable manner. For this purpose, many hospitals employ the services of storage facilities, often at substantial cost.
Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust last year finished digitising 446,000 patient records. The milestone marked the end of a four-year implementation project, cost savings of £2.6 million a year are expected in reduced operating costs and improved efficiencies.
Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital Foundation Trust have been shortlisted as finalists at the forthcoming HSJ Value awards in the category 'Using technology to improve efficiency' with their project: 'Medical Records at the click of a button, our digital journey'.
