HIC Whitepaper – Better Data In, Better Data Out

Getting EPR right isn’t just about the technology going live, it’s about the people who make it stick.

We’re proud to have contributed to a new white paper from the UK EPR Network, convened by the Healthcare Innovation Consortium, exploring what really drives successful digital transformation in the NHS. As EPR adoption grows across trusts, the challenge is shifting from implementation to optimisation, embedding these systems into everyday practice so they’re used consistently and deliver real improvements in care.

Alongside colleagues from CLEO Systems, Enovacom, First DataBank (FDB), Ready Computing and System C, and NHS partners, we shared our perspective on the vital role clinical champions and super users play in bridging the gap between deployment and lasting change.

In this report:

• Why data quality is the foundation EPR success is built on
• How better data capture leads to better clinical decisions and better care
• Getting structure, automation and workflow design right from the start
• Treating EPR migration as a chance to reset data quality, not carry it forward
• Why governance, interoperability and clear ownership matter as much as the technology itself
• Building trusted data foundations for analytics, AI and what comes next for the NHS
