In order to be awarded funding, the applicant must be an eligible organisation as defined in the prospectus and must have lead responsibility for the project Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust Applicant Address State the contact address for the organisation Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust, Penventinnie Lane, Truro, Is this a joint application? Project title Project Aim & Description Cornwall, TR1 3LJ No Provide the title by which the project is known eprescribing and Medicines Administration Provide a description of your project. Explain what you are seeking to achieve and the expected benefits for patients, clinicians and efficiency The aim of the project is to advance and complete the implementation of the eprescribing system in the Trust and partner organisations. The bid will enable all clinicians to use one safe, electronic prescribing system by September 2014 rather than a mixture of electronic and paper based prescribing. eprescribing has already been successfully piloted. Many benefits have been identified for patient safety, clinical decision making and operational efficiency. The pilot identified the need for a clinical implementation team and investment in additional mobile technology on wards and other clinical areas. This bid will put in place the technology and implementation team required to complete this project by September 2014. eprescribing and the integrated decision support will provide improved patient safety and help the Trust achieve its objective to focus relentlessly on quality of care and patient safety. The Trust and the Cornwall health community is implementing clinical electronic patient record systems that will enable the care and treatment of patients to be provided using electronic systems. eprescribing will allow us to move towards a paperless system, as part of the Integrated Digital Care Record. The Trust s Care Quality Commission report and provider compliance assessment in 2011 for outcome 9 highlights the importance of antibiotic prescribing and allergy. eprescribing can restrict prescribing for allergic patients and guide the clinician to prescribe appropriate alternatives. Such functionality is not only limited to antibiotics but also other formulary decisions. The wealth of electronic data captured by eprescribing will allow

for improved audit and review of practice, helping to support our staff in education, training and research and drive improvements in prescribing practice. Digital/Paperless Roadmap Highlighted Benefits: Improved patient safety through legibility and monitoring of compliance with prescription Reduced prescribing and dispensing errors Clear and consistent prescription information for patients Cost reduction and control through compliance with formulary Provides improved patient information at the point of care. Ensures secure access to confidential patient information- drug charts removed from the bed-end Is standards based. Information recorded once and shared Improving people s experience of health, care and support Reduced nursing drug administration time Reduced cost of paper/dugs charts Reduced cost of FP10's Avoid cost of drug errors/litigation Improved Information into service line reporting Improved patient flow Speed up patient discharge Reduced writing and rewriting drug charts Provide organisation s roadmap to move from paper to paper light to paperless. This should include an indication of the progression that an award of funding would make in terms of scope, scale or speed. The Trust has a coherent and Board approved strategy for building an Integrated Digital Care Record using the NHS Number as the key patient identifier. The building blocks of the strategy are Underpinning technology platform including high mobility, follow me desktops/devices and single sign on. Strategic Hospital wide PAS/EPR/Pathway/Workflow/Patient Tracking System Implementation of a scan and deliver health records service to digitise all health records Best of Breed specialist EPRs (e.g. cardiology) and Departmental Support systems integrated with the PAS/EPR including eprescribing the basis of this bid. Clinical or care Portal across Trust and wide care community EPRs Supporting Corporate and Business Support and MIS development. The pace of programme implementation is restricted by capital availability. The programme has been profiled over the next 5 years within capital programme constraints. The Technology

Fund will enable the Trust to make more rapid progress in delivery of the strategy and the move to paperless working. It is worth noting that Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust has not received any national funding following the issues with Fujitsu in the national programme. The Trust Board has agreed a programme to be delivered with an identified Capital budget to put the Trust on the path to Integrated Digital Care: To date the Trust has fully implemented the following integrated modules: Real time bed management Real time Emergency Department System Electronic Correspondence edischarge Order Comms Imaging Order results Imaging and Pathology PACS and RIS replacement In progress 2013/14 Order Comms Pathology pilot live eprescribing Pilot live Health records scan and deliver - mid procurement Strategic PAS procurement In progress and planned for 2013/14/15 PAS/Pathway/Patient tracking & Theatre strategic procurement Complete order comms and eprescribing increased EPR functionality Vital signs and infection surveillance Planned for 2015/16/17 Clinical decision support Clinical portal within Trust and health and social care community Best of breed departmental and specialist service EPRs integrated through the interface engine and clinical portal. Project Delivery Approach A slide set outlining the Trust strategy is available including diagrammatic representation not able to be included as part of the on-line bidding process. Provide an outline of the intended approach for delivering the project, confirming if the project is currently in flight The project is established (in flight), chaired by the Medical Director and led by a clinical team supported by Informatics. The project uses formal Prince 2 methodology and has an aggressive rollout plan based on the success of the model used in the early pilot wards.

Part of the reason for the bid is to help to speed up the rollout. The pilots identified that to roll out eprescribing requires a dedicated implementation team, mainly consisting of nursing staff along with a considerable investment in mobile technology. The bid will allow the Trust to complete the project by September 2014, achieving full eprescribing. Sourcing Strategy The system has been piloted in two of the Trusts hospitals for Inpatients. The next stage for implementation is within Inpatients in the Trust s largest hospital: Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro, followed by Outpatients throughout the Trust. Provide an outline of the sourcing strategy and suppliers involved (if known) and the likely procurement approach and timescales The Trust has selected JAC as the system supplier. The project is in flight and the phase timescales are shown below assuming the bid is successful. Phase 1 Pilot Inpatients at West Cornwall and St Michaels Hospital - delivered on schedule. Phase 2 full roll out in West Cornwall and St Michaels Hospital in progress Phase 3 Inpatients, RCH, Medicine being scheduled for Autumn/winter 2013/2014 subject to this bid Phase 4 Inpatient, RCH, Surgery scheduled for April 2014 Supplier Partner Capability Assessment Phase 4 Outpatients scheduled for June 2014 Provide details on any delivery capability and capacity assessment that has been made regarding the envisaged supplier partner(s) involved The supplier, JAC, has been selected in through an OJEU procurement using a scoring framework of overall best fit including capability, system functionality and cost. The supplier s role in the implementation is to provide the application support, train the trainers, updates and system support including drug file updates. NHS VistA Solution Strategic Alignment Supplier performance and engagement is monitored and assured through the eprescribing Project Board, chaired by the Medical Director. Confirm your interest in being involved in the development and adoption within your organisation of an NHS Open Source IDCR, NHS VistA, that would provide a core platform for digital care records. The Trust would be interested in exploring VistA and other open source approaches, although this project is already established and underway. Describe the fit of the project with the organisation s information and IT strategy and the current level of infrastructure and capability The Trust has a Board approved Health Informatics Strategy that will put in place an Integrated Digital Care Record using the NHS Number as the key patient identifier. The building blocks of the strategy are:

Underpinning technology platform including high mobility, follow me desktops/devices and single sign on. Strategic Hospital wide PAS/EPR/Pathway/Workflow/Patient Tracking System Implementation of a scan and deliver health records service to digitise all health records integrated with the PAS, EPR and Portal Best of Breed specialist EPRs (e.g. cardiology) and Departmental Support systems integrated with the PAS/EPR including eprescribing the basis of this bid. Clinical or care Portal across Trust and wider care community EPRs Supporting Corporate and Business Support and MIS development. The path to paperless working is in line with the patient safety and quality improvement strategy in the Trust. It is strongly supported by the Trust Board and the Trust s aim: safer, better, good value care. There is formal programme governance structure in place. The Health Informatics Delivery Board, chaired by the clinical lead for health informatics, is well established and has a good track record in managing the safe implementation of patient centric systems. Each significant project within the health informatics programme is managed by a project board that reports into the Health Informatics Delivery Board. This project is at the heart of the health informatics strategy with the development of an electronic patient record with increased access to information across wards, departments and the wider health and social care community. The intention of the Health Informatics Strategy is to implement clinical electronic patient record systems that will enable the care and treatment of new patients to be provided using electronic systems. The Trust has a good level of capability and capacity that would be enhanced if successful with this bid. The projects are supported technically by a shared service and formally managed by experienced and capable Project Managers. All projects are staffed by integrated teams to achieve success including clinical, operational and technical staff with change management operationally owned. The Trust strategy is clear in its ambitions and the route to deliver these ambitions. It is capital availability that is determining both our approach and pace of the health
