Our Group Digital Strategy

Our Digital Aspiration

 

We aspire to be the most Digital Hospital Group in England by July 2023. We will work together and with partners to enable digital care for patients across the Northamptonshire Health Economy in a joined-up & Integrated Care System.

We will obtain external validation to confirm our position. By July 2023 we aim to be ranked #1 in the “What Good Looks Like measure of Digital Transformation” (this is an emerging NHSX standard, aligned with ICS development).

Also by July 2023, we aim to achieve the highest levels of Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) accreditation:

  • Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM) Level 7
  • Outpatient Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (O-EMRAM) Level 7
  • Analytics Adoption Model for Analytics Maturity (AMAM) Level 7
