Two leading NHS organisations have come together to launch a new joint vision that will help the health service harness the power of data and technology and address some of the most pressing challenges facing the NHS. 
Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I) has begun a digital revolution to improve its mental health services. The Trust has successfully gone live with 'Carenotes', a leading Electronic Patient Record system (EPR) from Advanced Health & Care (Advanced). This next generation EPR solution went live on 8th September meeting ambitious delivery targets following completion of a focussed two-year project. 
An online self-triage and patient information service that cut hundreds of unnecessary GP appointments in a pilot study is now available to surgeries across the country from EMIS Health. Practices signing up to eConsult can provide patients with a website link to self-help information; signposting to alternative services; and a symptom checker which can help them establish whether they need a GP appointment. 
NHS England has accredited healthcare open source pioneer IMS MAXIMS as a supporter to its Code4Health initiative, marking another key milestone in the drive to open source technology in the NHS. 
Technology that is alerting doctors and nurses to acutely ill patients in hospitals so that clinical staff can intervene early and prevent people in their care from coming to harm, is to be demonstrated live at London's Healthcare Efficiency Through Technology (HETT) Expo in September. 
Medelinked, the online health platform that empowers healthcare engagement and management, has launched Medelinked Snapshot enabling doctor and patient to use the Medelinked Partner Health Portal to be partners in health management and giving GPs as much as two minutes extra time per consultation. 
NHS Dumfries and Galloway has taken a major step in integrating children’s services across health, social care and other public services. This is as a result of a pioneering project that is moving far beyond anything done before within NHS Scotland to link crucial information on patients from across disparate IT systems used by different organisations.
