Case Study
Nuffield Hospitals performs 325,000 radiological examinations per year and plans to double this volume. Its planned facility to provide mobile examinations across 40 sites created a requirement for its radiology information systems to connect to the National Picture Archiving and Communication System.
Nuffield wanted the 40 hospitals within its group to connect to the NHS National PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) Network. This requirement necessitated a de-duplicated view of patient records.
VIQTOR DAVIS was invited by IBM to help provide a solution that integrated the central patient view with the radiology information view, so that all information could be added to a golden view of patients.
Entity took responsibility for implementing the IBM Infosphere MDM software and for integrating it with 40 source sites, as well as conducting synchronisation with radiology information systems. Entity led the recruitment of a dedicated data quality team, as well as designing and implementing processes to manage the de-duplication of master paper patient records.
Nuffield Health now has a single central view of all of its patients on a national basis. This significantly reduces data quality issues, enhances patient safety and results in an enhanced customer experience for the patient when booking and managing their relationship with the Nuffield hospitals and the radiology business.
