Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital

Liverpool, United Kingdom

In 2013, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust became one of the first trusts nationally to introduce Sunrise Electronic Patient Record (EPR). Since then, it has continued making strides in its digital journey: optimising and enhancing the EPR with documentation and tracking board enhancements and embedded decision support, integrating clinical systems, embedding information sharing across care services, and investing in digital infrastructure, cybersecurity and intelligence-led care.
