Client
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust provides hospital-based services from three main sites: the Alexandra Hospital, Kidderminster Hospital and Treatment Centre, and Worcestershire Royal Hospital. In 2021–22, these organisations provided care to more than 250,000 patients—equal to 40% of Worcestershire’s population.
The trust, which was categorised as “Group 0” under the frontline digitisation programme, has embarked on its digital transformation journey through the implementation of Altera Digital Health’s Sunrise electronic patient record (EPR) system in March 2023. Now live across all 56 inpatient wards, the ambitious project saw the trust quickly accelerate its digital maturity, developing a highly configured system that is bespoke to the trust’s needs, without needing national funding.

"The deployment was led by a multidisciplinary EPR team, made up of technical, clinical and operational staff, to ensure the solution was reflective of the trust's specific needs. We have quickly been able to improve the baseline of our digital maturity, with minimal disruption to patient care. The project 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."
Stuart Cooper, EPR Programme Director at Worcester Acute Hospitals
