Mizaic’s new guide to unleashing the power of data-driven digital records at the point of care

< Return to the insights hub

In today's fast-paced world, where information is key to making informed decisions, the healthcare industry is no exception. Recognising the pivotal role of technology in shaping the future of healthcare, Mizaic is proud to launch its detailed guide, which takes a close look at EDMS and EPR systems in the wider EPR ecosystem in the NHS.

Our latest guide to unlocking the power of digital patient records

‘Empowering healthcare: A guide to patient-centric digital records in the NHS’ is a comprehensive commentary that delves into the transformative potential of intuitive electronic document management systems (EDMS) – like MediViewer – in revolutionising healthcare delivery within the NHS.

It paints a vivid picture of a healthcare ecosystem in which clinicians seamlessly access vital patient information at the point of care, fueling insights and enhancing clinical decision-making. Gone are the days of cumbersome paper records; instead, we envision a future where technology serves as a trusted companion in the journey towards improved clinician-patient experiences.

Navigating the ever-evolving landscape of NHS digital transformation is not without its challenges. From interoperability issues to data security concerns, Trusts face numerous obstacles on the path to embracing digital innovation. However, each hurdle presents an opportunity for innovation and advancement in healthcare delivery.

At Mizaic, we recognise the complexities and challenges inherent in this journey. We believe that an EDMS holds the key to overcoming these challenges and unlocking the full potential of patient data. Our vision goes beyond mere technical solutions; it represents a paradigm shift towards personalised, innovative, and high-quality care for every patient.

Understanding the role of EPRs and EDMS 

In the current healthcare landscape, electronic patient record (EPR) systems play a crucial role in digitising patient information and streamlining clinical workflows. However, the implementation and integration of EPRs pose significant challenges, ranging from interoperability issues between systems to the need for comprehensive data security measures.

Many Trusts may not realise the limitations of EPRs and might not understand how EDMS differs and complements this technology. That's why we've compiled this guide—to help educate and inform healthcare professionals about the distinct roles of EPRs and EDMS, and how the integration of these technologies can revolutionise healthcare delivery.

By shedding light on the capabilities of EDMS and its synergistic relationship with EPRs, we aim to empower healthcare organisations to make informed decisions and leverage the full potential of digital technology in improving patient care. Through education and collaboration, we can navigate the challenges of NHS digital transformation and pave the way for a more efficient, patient-centric healthcare ecosystem.

In this free guide, we explore:

  • The patient record predicament: Delving into the challenges posed by the persistence of paper medical records within the NHS, we shed light on the financial burden, limited accessibility, and risks associated with traditional record-keeping methods.

  • The need to digitise: Despite the government's commitment to digital transformation, we acknowledge the challenges and complexities involved in transitioning towards a near-paperless NHS.

  • EPR and EDMS: What is the difference?: Clarifying the roles of EPRs and EDMS, the guide highlights the complementary nature of these technologies in driving healthcare digitisation.

  • A clinically focused NHS EDMS: Highlighting the transformative benefits of implementing a clinically oriented EDMS, we outline how an EDMS enhances clinical decision making, streamlines processes, and improves patient outcomes.

  • People, not paper: Emphasising the human-centric approach to digital transformation, the guide underscores how EDMS empowers healthcare professionals, liberates administrative staff, and enhances the patient experience.

‘Empowering healthcare: A guide to patient-centric digital records in the NHS’ is not only a guide—it's a manifesto for the future of healthcare in the UK. We invite healthcare professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders to join us in embracing the power of EDMS to unlock unprecedented efficiencies and elevate the standard of care for all.

Download the free guide and embark on a journey towards a brighter, more digitally enabled future for healthcare in the NHS. Together, let's unleash the power of digital records and transform healthcare for generations to come.
