NHS organisations are under increasing pressure to modernise their digital infrastructure while operating within tight financial constraints. Initiatives such as the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) modernisation programme, the adoption of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) and the national push for greater digital resilience are raising expectations for Trusts.

As a result, they must now deliver improved outcomes and greater efficiencies without relying on expensive, disruptive rip-and-replace approaches.

Introducing CareFlow EPR (Electronic Patient Record)

CareFlow EPR is a comprehensive, cloud-native, AI and mobile-enabled Electronic Patient Record system. This fully integrated FHIR-compliant platform enables Trusts to extend the value of existing systems while phasing in modern, integrated functionality.

Discovering Real Outcomes for the NHS

CareFlow EPR’s reporting capability meets UK reporting standards for the NHS, enabling funding and payments to be made based on actual activity and not second guesses.

University Hospital Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust

After CareFlow EPR was deployed at University Hospital Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, teams witnessed streamlined workflows and reduced duplication, helping them release tens of thousands of hours back to patient-facing care.

Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust

At Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, over 1 million records and 70 million data items were successfully migrated from a 20-year-old PAS into CareFlow EPR, laying a foundation for modern digital practice.

Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust

Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust are pursuing a 10-year phased EPR programme with System C, replacing legacy PAS, ED, and theatre systems before moving into advanced clinical functionality.

Whittington Health NHS Trust

Whittington Health NHS Trust successfully deployed ICS-ready EPR capability, including clinical portal, in-patient whiteboard, e-observation and shared care record functionality with System C, improving patient journeys and empowering staff.

Future-Ready Care with our Electronic Patient Record

The solution supports trust and enables clinicians to complete safer prescribing and reduce duplication within data entry. Creating new opportunities for faster and safer decision-making across care settings.

CareFlow EPR is also cloud-hosted, meaning that the solution offers more scalability and robust cyber-resilience compared to on-premise offerings across the market. This helps trusts in reducing future upgrade costs.

The FHIR-driven design ensures alignment with national interoperability priorities and will help to prepare more trusts for analytics, AI, and population health integration in the near future.

Relevance to NHS Value and Sustainability

CareFlow EPR can support NHS trusts in making sure that every penny counts by protecting existing investments and providing the much-needed tools to transition to integrated care. CareFlow EPR allows trusts to invest with confidence, knowing that the system is suitably equipped for tomorrow’s challenges.

The Purpose of Phased, Standards-Based Adoption

Adopting digital systems in phased, standards-based stages enables trusts to modernise with confidence. This approach helps to reduce risk, protect continuity of care and ensure each step forward is safe.

By embedding interoperability from the outset, organisations can witness greater value from their digital estates. System-wide integration, built on FHIR standards, ensures that data moves seamlessly across services, allowing every data point to work harder for staff, patients and taxpayers.

Trusts and ICSs should define measurable outcomes from the very beginning. A focus on benefit realisation ensures that digital transformation consistently delivers improvements where they matter most.

We accelerate time-to-value through a convergence strategy which has been built on proven NHS solutions. Helping trusts to reduce duplication, simplify integration and enhance scalability and interoperability for faster, sustainable benefits.

As digital maturity grows, maintaining a strong focus on benefits realisation is essential to ensure technology delivers real improvements in care.
