World-renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital to implement MEDITECH Expanse Electronic Patient Record (EPR)

Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (London, UK) — a leading international eye care, research, and educational hospital — announced it will implement MEDITECH’s Expanse EPR in its 20 locations in and around London. 

The programme will integrate Moorfields’ existing ophthalmology clinical noting system, OpenEyes, with the cloud-based Expanse platform to establish one all-inclusive EPR across its network, with Expanse as the foundation. 

Since many of Moorfields’ clinicians work at multiple locations and patients often travel between facilities for treatment, continuity of care and interoperability are essential. Expanse will enable seamless care by establishing one integrated EPR that delivers the same real-time access and view of patient health data at all of the organisation’s locations. In addition to providing a more complete view of each patient’s health journey, the solution will boost organisational efficiency by streamlining processes and connecting staff through one shared system, including administrators, nurses, pharmacy, imaging, inpatient and A&E. Departments like A&E, radiology, pathology and pharmacy will be fully digitised for the first time.

“I am delighted we are integrating our specialist ophthalmology system OpenEyes with MEDITECH, which has proven NHS experience,” said Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust chief operating officer Jon Spencer, the senior officer responsible for the EPR programme. “Our development focus is to optimise patient care and improve information for clinicians to aid their decision making. The EPR will support the trust’s position as a world-leading eye care, research, and educational organisation, as we edge closer to moving to our new centre for advancing eye care in Camden.”

“We are proud to expand our London footprint, as another world-renowned healthcare organisation chooses Expanse as its go-forward platform,” said Executive General Manager, MEDITECH UK and Ireland, Charlotte Scott. “This collaboration exemplifies the power and flexibility of Expanse to meet the unique needs of a wide variety of healthcare organisations worldwide. As a global leader in ophthalmology, Moorfields Eye Hospital is making a real impact in healthcare. We are honoured to partner with them on this transformative programme.”
