Luton & Dunstable University Hospital

XEROX COME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…

“With the electronic records system, the patient history will always be available, so there won’t be a period of delay. So [we expect to] see an improved accuracy of diagnosis, improved treatment plans (…).”

  • Paper medical records have the potential to be misfiled or even lost, leading to delays at the point of care.

  • Single Electronic Records System – On its way to creating a unified EMR system and phasing out its paper files, Xerox decided to minimize the risk and implement the digital system in stages starting by rationalizing existing records-management processes. The joint project with Xerox will steadily transition the hospital from a paper-based environment to a fully digital platform for managing medical records.

• Operational costs are expected to decline 15.7% or £2.2 million over the life of the contract.

• Significant cost savings in staffing optimization, paper storage, transportation and management expenses.
