Cardiff and Vale adopts in4tek’s Paris
Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust has chosen Paris, the community healthcare
and socialcare system developed by Altrincham-based in4tek, to unify
services across the diverse organisations within the Trust.
The project covers almost all mental health and support services
within Cardiff and all community services within the Trust area,
including district nursing, specialist district nursing, health
visiting, specialist clinics and acute response teams. It also covers
community and child health services and child health therapies.
Implementation project manager Peter Landstrom said, “There needed to
be a more generic view of the patient and to meet this challenge the
Trust decided to create a dynamic single service, to come as close as
possible to creating a single patient record across the entire trust and
locally within individual services. Our vision for the project is about
clinical information. It’s quite simply about providing better clinical
information for all staff and the clinicians involved — which benefits
the patient, helps staff do their job better and more safely and
ultimately it helps improve the service.”
Already 97% of the Trust’s consultants use Paris. For the first time
the Trust has a clinical service leading the information rather than
information demands leading the clinical practice.
