Case Study: St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust supercharges health data exchange with NextGen Healthcare's Mirth Connect

St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust Supercharges Health Data Exchange with Mirth Connect

St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, a 900‑bed trust serving Merseyside and surrounding areas, faced an inflexible, third‑party Java CAPS integration engine that was expensive to extend, supported only a small integration footprint, and relied on manual data entry and paper transcription as it neared end‑of‑life.

The Trust migrated to Mirth Connect, completing the move in about three months and certifying staff cost‑effectively. The new platform removed paper transcription, expanded connectivity to roughly 60 downstream systems, enabled live API alerts and improved discharge processes, supported COVID‑19 alerting and ICS projects, and gave clinicians faster, more reliable access to patient data.
