March 9th 2010 - Ascribe is pleased to announce that it has received an order from Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust ("MTW") for a range of enhancements to their Emergency Department IT system, Symphony.

MTW will use Ascribe Symphony to cover their Acute Admissions & Medical Admissions Units at the Emergency Departments for both Maidstone Hospital and Kent & Sussex Hospital.

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 provide several new mechanisms to help staff assess individual requirements and electronically record this information with greater efficiency.

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.

As with all Ascribe systems, the focus continues to be improving patient safety and enabling clinicians to follow local working practice and treatment protocols.
