Case Study: Kainos Evolve achieves NHS paperless EMR digitization and advanced analytics with OpenText

Uses Micro Focus IDOL and Content Manager to lead the National Health Service into a paperless future.

Kainos Evolve, a leader in UK electronic medical records, faced the NHS mandate to go paperless by 2018, requiring the mass digitization of patient records and fast, clinically focused access to that information. The company needed technology that could OCR and index legacy paperwork, extract clinical concepts (such as clinician-to-specialty mappings), visualize and cluster results, and connect to other systems—all while supporting mobile bedside access and large-scale migration without disrupting care.

Kainos built its Evolve EMR on Micro Focus IDOL and Content Manager, using their APIs for advanced ingestion, pattern matching, indexing, analytics and visualization. The solution sped time-to-market, reduced development costs, and scaled to handle hundreds of millions of documents; hospitals report major paper reductions, faster clinician access at the bedside, fewer canceled appointments, improved patient safety and a projected ROI of 2.4:1.
