Joined-up care for mid and south Essex residents
We’re improving the way we deliver care to our patients and service users across mid and south Essex through the introduction of a new joined-up electronic patient record (EPR) system for Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust and Mid and South Essex Foundation Trust.
The investment in a new EPR system will support our service delivery across community, mental health, and acute care services by bringing together multiple systems into one. This will enable us to provide better, safer, joined-up care for everyone, while supporting better working practices for our staff.
The EPR system is a digital patient records tool that will enable doctors, nurses and other health professionals involved in a patient’s care to access information quickly and in real-time. It will enhance our patients’ experiences by providing a holistic and personalised approach to care with the right information at the right time and place.
The investment in a new EPR system supports the wider digital investments we are making to residents across Essex, such as the Shared Care Record, helping in the delivery of quick, essential and tailored care across our organisations.
The new system is scheduled to go live in 2026/27 across Essex Partnership University Trust and Mid and South Essex Foundation Trust.
