Summary: As the NHS faces a digital transformation deadline, adopting modular and scalable Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems can help trusts gradually enhance their digital maturity. This phased approach allows NHS organizations to implement key functionalities while minimizing costs and disruption to patient care. Successful examples from trusts like Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells and Worcestershire Acute demonstrate the benefits of this flexible strategy.
Note: What is this? Does it say that all NHS Trusts must have an EPR - like Making Tax Digital?

“It was important for us to take a phased approach to the go-live. It enabled us to learn along the way to make the transition as smooth as possible, as for many staff this is their first time working digitally. As a result, we have very quickly been able to improve the baseline of our digital maturity, with minimal disruption to patient care.” – Stuart Cooper, EPR Programme Director, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
