Description

This is an exciting time for the NHS in Cornwall, with investment that will fund the development of a new Electronic Patient Record at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust.

This will be the biggest investment and transformation in the digital technology, that supports our patient care, for more than 30 years.

Our new EPR will touch the lives of staff, patients and partner organisations across Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and beyond.

Our services will be supported by a software system that is modern, flexible, and able to support the ongoing health care needs of our population.

Our team support multiple elements of hospital business, utilising data from across the organisation to underpin evidence-based decision making and presenting this in our in-house developed Business Intelligence solution, RADAR.

Transformation of the way the team works will go alongside the implementation of the EPR, as we become accustomed to developing and deploying reporting solutions both within and external to the EPR, utilising a broad range of analytical tools.

This post, and those that report to it, will enable us to continue to support the growing information and intelligence requirements of our organisation, underpinning clinical and operational decision making, operational delivery and performance monitoring.
