North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) has appointed Better Meds, alongside CGI as the implementation partner, to provide e-prescribing and allergy monitoring across its acute and community hospitals.
The companies have been awarded the contract to deliver the Better Meds solution and Better Allergies Portal following an open procurement process.
The agreement is a step in the trust’s move away from paper based systems towards a central electronic patient record model.
It is planning to use Better Meds, built on an openEHR platform, to allow for integration between existing and future systems. This will include the immediate integration into NCIC’s existing decision support systems, as well as its pharmacy and Omnicell automated dispensing cabinets.
