Overview
The newly released medium term planning framework 2026-29 has provided the roadmap to deliver improved efficiency and data sharing. A vital requirement to achieving this is 100% coverage of electronic patient records (EPR), but how can NHS boards translate this into practical action for their own organisations?
Join our next peer learning event to explore the realities of EPR adoption and optimisation and the role the board can play in setting their organisations up for long-term success.
What we'll cover
- A roadmap of a trust's journey from implementation and adoption to optimisation
- The key learnings from trusts who have recently implemented their EPR and how the board and digital leads are managing adoption in practice
- The practical steps for transitioning your EPR into a sustainable 'business as usual' state
- How the board can navigate the challenges of EPR implementation and use improvement and co-design to ensure the EPRs align with clinical pathways
