Electronic document management

Nuffield Hospitals network chooses Version One

Nuffield Hospitals, the UK's longest-standing group of independent hospitals, is currently implementing a new Version One electronic form design, automated document delivery and electronic payment system across all 40 of its hospitals.

The system, which will enable documents to be emailed out or automatically sent to a recipient’s fax machine at the touch of a button, will replace Nuffield’s manual processes, which involve signing and posting cheques with hard-copy remittance advices and printing-out and faxing purchase orders. With Version One systems in place, the group expects to cut printing, stationery and postage costs dramatically.

"We identified the need for electronic document-management technologies that could tightly integrate into our new procurement and finance system, further streamlining our processes and saving us time and money", said Matt Oxley, Associate Director, Pro-curement and Property, from Nuffield Hospitals. "The savings of time will allow skilled staff to be redeployed so that they can focus on activities where they can really add value."
