New National Treatment Center deploys Highland Cambric’s Morse EPR

Cambric Systems, a supplier of healthcare patient data software solutions for use in secondary and community-based healthcare settings, has announced that National Treatment Center (NTC) Highland has deployed Morse Electronic Patient Record (EPR).

The brand new facility, located in Inverness, which will open in April 2023 and is one of 10 treatment centers funded by the Scottish Government, will use Cambric Systems’ digital solutions and interactive M-Form capabilities to strengthen NHS Highland’s eHealth program which will help to provide seamless multi-disciplinary patient care across the region.

NHS Highland decided to build on its long-standing partnership with Cambric to bring consistency and continuity of care to the newly launched NTC and a more efficient, paper-light way to store, access and update patient records established approach.

Fiona Grist, NTC Clinical Nurse Manager, said: “NTC was primarily created to help reduce waiting times for specialist ophthalmic and orthopedic care and the deployment of Morse technology will certainly help us in achieving that goal. is helping

“The solution allows us to work differently and more efficiently, streamlining our processes and providing a clearer view of entire patient pathways.”

Employees in every discipline, from recovery and consultants to general nursing staff and allied health professionals (AHPs) such as occupational and physiotherapists, rely on Morse for online access to the same patient information.

This means patients requiring treatment from multiple disciplinary teams no longer need to repeat themselves when speaking to different specialists, which reduces patient frustration as well as waiting times between appointments.

Cambric MD Gary Sheriff said: “Our technology is designed by users to help healthcare professionals put the patient at the center of everything.

“The transparency of the Morse EPR solution seamlessly supports all users regardless of role, skill or experience and can be easily tailored to their individual needs.

“We give forward-thinking organizations like NHS Highland the flexibility they need to grow and manage the ever-changing healthcare landscape.”

The next step is rolling out MORSE to other parts of the expanding NHS Highland organisation, applying lessons learned from the NTC to continually improve patient pathways.

Cambric’s use of Morse EPR in the new NTC Highland follows last month’s announcement that NHS Fife has increased its use of Morse EPR.
