Feb 1st 2010 - Ascribe is pleased to announce that it has received an order from Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust for a range of enhancements to the Trust's Emergency Care system, Symphony.
The enhancements will encompass a re-configuration of the system to reflect current working practices and support planned changes within the Emergency Department. Ascribe will also deliver new components that provide additional levels of protection to vulnerable groups, including children and patients with Mental Health problems, as they seek Emergency Care. In addition, Ascribe will provide several new mechanisms to help staff assess individual requirements and electronically record this information with greater efficiency.
As with all Ascribe systems, the focus continues to be improving patient safety and enabling clinicians to follow local working practice and treatment protocols.
Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust provides a broad range of hospital services for the local communities of Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham in London. In 2007/8, 115,000 patients attended the main Emergency Department at St Thomas', and a further 18,000 patients attended the minor injuries unit at Guy's.
