The deployment of an EDMS (Electronic Document Management System) can represent a long and complex programme of work, which needs to be carefully planned, resourced, and of course, financed. But forward-thinking Trusts acknowledge the many clinical, operational, and fiscal benefits that can be achieved following the digitisation of patient records. And when NHS resources are so stretched, and the health of the nation requires such significant attention, these benefits cannot be ignored.

This document is therefore designed to provide a practical, insightful exploration into the creation of an economic case for EDMS technology, drawing upon decades of learned experiences from the Mizaic team.
