Be prepared early

To realise successful outcomes

Early engagement with Egress is a precursor to success for the organisations we work with. Data migration and integration requirements are often overlooked and underestimated and dealt with late in the programme. This leads to wasted time and effort, not to mention money. Preparation is key and our EPR data readiness assessment helps ensure you are ready and able to embark on complex system transformation programmes.

The Egress EPR Data Readiness Assessment ensures that healthcare trusts are prepared to undertake an EPR Implementation Programme with appropriate organisational structures, processes and expectations in place to deliver optimal outcomes. The assessment equips providers with analysis and guidance to shape the programme, providing early indication of key challenges and critical issues to address. Early sight of this information helps avoid delays to timescales, cost escalation and unachieved Business Case Benefits.

Egress can help at any of the following stages in your transformation journey: 

 

  • Pre-Procurement – Focuses on Trusts that have yet to start their journey to deploy an Electronic Patient Record to achieve strategic requirements dictated by internal, ICS, NHS Digital or NHS England mandates​.
  • Pre-Implementation – Focuses on Trusts that have selected their preferred EPR supplier but have yet to start this complex transformation journey.
  • Mid-Implementation – Focuses on Trusts with significant risks or issues to the programme.

The assessment defines four core elements to drive a successful implementation:

Capability

Assessing and defining resourcing, technology and programme governance structures required to deliver business case outcomes.

Capacity

Ensuring the right people and partners are in the required roles with the correct skills and experience.

Credibility

Ensuring the programme meets the ambitions of Trust and ICS leadership, key stakeholders, third party suppliers, users and patients.

Coherence

Ensuring the strategy and delivery approach align to requirements and wider business objectives within the local health economy.
