MFT has undergone a huge transformation programme including the deployment of a new PACs system and a new EPR system (Epic EPR), including a new Radiology Information System. Since September 2021 the trust has used Sectra PACS as part of the GM Collaborative Imaging Procurement Project (‘GM PACS’) which links imaging records for all 8 Trusts in Greater Manchester. This gives Reporters and Clinicians full live access to all reports and images for a patient regardless of where they have been imaged. The Trust has invested in a new state of the art EPR product called Hive, which went live in September 2022. This is the Epic EPR system, and it replaced 100s of legacy systems across all the MFTs sites. The system includes a new RIS (Radiant) embedded in the EPR which replaced our legacy system (CRIS). The new EPR includes cloud-based Dragon Medical One speech recognition, and the system gives reporters full live access to the patient’s entire MFT notes, as well as collaboratively features to communicate with clinicians and perform MDT work. The system includes up to date contact details for the patients current treating team, allowing easy communication, as well fully automated and integrated result alerts systems. This is an ongoing long-term project with further improvements and opportunities over the coming years.
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals.
