The successful launch of LPRES platform at Digital Innovation Summit 2018!
Together with Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust and our partners, we have successfully launched an integrated care record system that will enable health and care providers in Lancashire and South Cumbria to share clinical information.
Vitaly’s Patient Relationship Management is allowing patients of major hospital trusts in the region to access and share the documentation where they are needed.
The Lancashire Person Record Exchange Service (LPRES) connects Lancashire Care with the IT systems of four other major hospital trusts, in addition to more than 300 GP practices, two upper tier authorities, Lancashire County Council and a number of private providers.
By collaborating and sharing information about patients and service users across care boundaries, LPRES aim to provide care givers with access to the right information, at the point of care delivery, leading to:
- Improved continuity of care
- Safer services for our citizens
- Reduction in unnecessary diagnostic tests
- Less paperwork and more efficient services
- Greater access to data for patients, their carers, providers and commissioners of services
LPRES covers the entire population of Lancashire and South Cumbria, which accounts for approximately 1.7 million people.
Blackpool Teaching Hospital, Lancashire Teaching Hospital, East Lancashire Hospitals and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay are all linked by the system, with North West Infrastructure Service acting as a supplier.
