Clinical Portal Cornerstone to Make The Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen "World-Class Hospital"

Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust has announced the success of its clinical portal and said that it is providing a cornerstone in helping the trust to become a world leading hospital. The clinical portal, which went live at the trust at the end of 2011, allows clinicians to view vital patient information, stored on a variety of systems, through a single view.

The trust has produced a video to highlight the benefits of the portal, which include significant reductions in clinic times, improved patient safety as well as hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of savings by moving to electronic systems and relying less on paper processes.

Professor Patrick Chu, consultant haematologist at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust said: "Now that I have the clinical portal, I arrive in the clinic and I don't see multiple volumes of casenotes and instead of flicking through all pages in the casenotes I just look at the screen.

"For a three and a half to four hours clinic I can save 30 minutes of time so I can use that time to either see more patients or new patients."

The clinical portal is already providing clinicians with instant access to a range of patient information, including test results, medical images and correspondence and the trust is working to see how it can also provide GPs and even patients with access to relevant information.

James Norman, IT director at the trust added: "This trust has a very innovative nature and we thrive on new technologies being incorporated. With the new hospital due to open in 2017, we plan to be not just a world-class hospital but one of the most technically advanced as well."
