Case Study: Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust achieves clinical transformation with Altera Digital Health

Driving Clinical Transformation with a Strong Electronic Patient Record

Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust (WWL) was facing significant challenges with its paper-based system, including illegible notes, poor data accessibility, and an inability to manage an exponential growth in information. Seeking to drive clinical transformation, the Trust chose the Allscripts Sunrise Acute Care electronic patient record system to replace its outdated technology and generate clinical benefits with minimal risk.

The solution involved an agile, "big-bang" implementation of the Allscripts Sunrise Acute Care platform, which provided clinical documentation and electronic medication administration. By integrating as a clinical wrap around their existing systems, Allscripts enabled clinicians to access patient data from anywhere, making the organization more efficient and better run. The results established a foundation for future growth, with plans to go paperless, standardize clinical pathways, and share data with other hospitals.
