Electronic Document & Records Management for Clinical Records

LSC Group provides industry leading Electronic Document and Records Management (EDRM) technology tailored to meet the challenges of NHS Information Governance and improving information management within the NHS.

The business case and benefits realisation opportunities for implementing EDRM are clearly demonstrable for clinical information to compliment the information held in a Trust’s Patient Administration System (PAS), based on the need to:

• Effectively manage information to meet Freedom of Information requests
• Generate significant savings in labour costs for the filing and retrieval of records
• Provide comprehensive access to patient records for a wider user base across the clinical community at the point of care
• Facilitate concurrent access to records by multiple specialities
• For example: access to patient records in areas such as A&E where today the norm is for patients to be seen without immediate access to records
• Reduce clinical risk
• Reduce and eventually eliminate the bulk storage of paper records and associated costs
• Provide a safe storage environment not subject to water, fire or other environmental damage
• Provide evidentiary support for litigation
• Integrate seamlessly into other information-oriented applications
• PAS
• ESR
• The Office Desktop
• The intranet

In addition, LSC Group offers a range of Healthcare ‘Accelerator Packs’ to assist NHS staff to rapidly deploy the EDRM solution to both achieve compliance with Information Governance (IG) requirements and also achieve real service improvements in the management of information within an NHS Trust.
