Solution

SynApps was selected to replace the legacy system with Alfresco Enterprise Content Management (ECM), including the migration of the existing clinical records. The Alfresco Share user interface is launched via a contextual link from the RiO EPR displaying the documents that make up the patients’ medical record. Clinicians can navigate via traditional folder structures or search filters, while thumbnails and text search are also enabled. A separate repository to manage HR records has been implemented, including an integration with Microsoft Office and Outlook.

Project Success

SynApps delivered both systems on time and on budget to support 2,500 users. The ease of use and performance of the new solution has resulted in increased productivity for users and much less frustration for clinicians when retrieving patient records. The Trust is planning to integrate future applications, including the management of Freedom of Information requests, to leverage their investment in the new ECM platform.
