New procurement win

 

 

System C is pleased to announce that it has been selected to provide The Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust ("RDEFT") with the Company's Medway order communications and e-Prescribing software ("Medway").

The RDEFT provides acute hospital services to around 350,000 people in Exeter and Devon and specialist services such as cancer care, plastic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, paediatric care and renal services to people living in Devon, Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, Dorset and Somerset. It has over 900 beds, 20 operating theatres, and 5 sites including Wonford, Heavitree, The Honeylands Children's Centre, the Exeter Mobility Centre and Mardon Neuro-rehabilitation Centre.

System C's products are part of the company's range of integrated clinical, departmental and patient administration software. At RDEFT, Medway will be fully integrated with the Trust's key legacy clinical and administrative systems.  System C has agreed to provide Medway on a seven year contract.

Medway is today used in over 40 NHS Trusts.  Full EPRs are deployed at a number of large acute Trusts, including Aintree University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and leading cancer specialist The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

The Royal Devon & Exeter plans to implement an electronic patient record which incorporates the full 'Clinical 5' - the five key components identified by the Department of Health - by 2014.  In addition to order communications and e-Prescribing, these include a patient administration system, coded clinical documentation and scheduling.

Ian Denley, CEO of System C, said.  "We are delighted to be working with the Royal Devon & Exeter on this important strategic programme which will deliver many quality and cash releasing benefits to the Trust over its lifetime."

Ends.
