Case Study: Health and Social Care Northern Ireland transforms care with Orion Health

Health and Social Care Northern Ireland saves time with Orion Health: over 95% of users say NIECR speeds up work

Health and Social Care Northern Ireland, a regional healthcare commissioner, faced a challenge with disparate clinical systems that caused clinicians to waste significant time locating patient information, hindering timely decision-making. To address this, they partnered with Orion Health to create a comprehensive electronic care record using the Orion Health Open Platform and other solutions.

Orion Health implemented the Northern Ireland Electronic Care Record (NIECR), which provided a single, web-based view of key patient information. This solution resulted in over 700,000 user logins per month and time savings for over 95% of users. Measurable impacts included the electronic triaging of 4,600+ GP referrals monthly, saving 18,400 pages of paper, and the enrollment of over 80,000 patients into a new digital Diabetes Care Pathway.
