Abstract:
In this session you will hear about the project that Basingstoke & North Hampshire NHS Foundation Trust undertook with IBM to implement an aggressive IT strategy in a very short time frame. At the heart of the strategy was the initial implementation of an Electronic Summary Patient Record and key elements of the Clinical 5 (the Connecting for Health initiative to modernise their computer systems in order to improve patient care and services). To achieve this, the WebSphere Portal platform was used as the basis of the Patient Portal with WebSphere Message Broker providing the integration with the Trust's applications. Live Discharge Forms and Clinical Correspondence have been built using Lotus Forms.
