A digitally advanced children’s hospital
Alder Hey were awarded Level 7 EMRAM (the highest level attainable) from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) in November 2021.
Alder Hey is the first specialist Trust in the UK and the first paediatric hospital in Europe to have been awarded EMRAM Stage 7 from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). It is also a major step towards our vision of creating a healthier future for children and young people everywhere.
EMRAM, or the Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model, measures the adoption and maturity of a health facility’s EMR capabilities from 0 to 7. It tests for clinician documentation, including orders, e-prescribing, patient engagement and population health analytics.
Organisations that reach Stage 7, the highest level, have fully adopted and are harnessing technology to support optimised patient care.
Being validated at Stage 7, Alder Hey clearly demonstrates a significant commitment to improving patient safety and the overall quality of clinical care through the effective use and deployment of digital technology.
This has been further underlined by Alder Hey winning the Health Service Journal “Digitising Patient Services Award”, and the Overall Award at the “Health Tech Network Awards”, both in 2020/21.
