System definitions:
Adult (working age) services: This may be an independent system for managing these patients, or it may be part of the trust's EPR functionality.
BI & Data Warehousing: Integrates data and information collected from various sources, e.g. electronic patient/health records, enterprise resource planning systems, radiology and lab databases, wearables etc, into one comprehensive database
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS): is a broad term for all services that work with children and young people who have difficulties with their emotional or behavioural wellbeing.
Eating disorders: This may be an independent system for managing these patients, or it may be part of the trust's EPR functionality.
ePOA: A digital platform/app that streamlines the pre-operative assessment process, replacing traditionally paper-based tasks with electronic data collection for efficiency. It allows patients to provide essential information online before their hospital visit and engage in a structured assessment, often with a nurse, to ensure a smooth and efficient preparation for surgery. Some suppliers include, AireLogic, Definition Health, OpenMedical.
Electronic Care Programme Approach (eCPA): The system is designed to improve the quality of information in CPA care plans and, for the first time, to enable the rapid and standardised adoption of evidence-based good practice.
E-rostering: An electronic staff management tool that enables trusts to plan staffing requirements, report on enhanced hours, overtime, sickness, TOIL and annual leave.
Learning disabilities: This may be an independent system for managing these patients, or it may be part of the trust's EPR functionality.
Main Community System: A main community system is a software system that supports the delivery of community health services by enabling electronic patient records (EPR) and case management. Civica Paris and Servelec Rio are examples of main community systems. They help to improve patient outcomes by providing a single view of patient information, supporting multi-disciplinary team working, integrated health and social care services, and online and offline mobile working.
Older Adults: This may be an independent system for managing these patients, or it may be part of the trust's EPR functionality.
Statutory reporting: Simple BI producing Statutory Returns which need to be made to Central Government – e.g. PBR, MHMDS, CDS, HES, NDTMS – as appropriate to commissioned clinical services. Typically, these are contained within the ROCR (Register of Central returns) and have been through an approved “gateway” process.
Thank you for your time.
Yours faithfully,
Miss Georgina Kovacs
