ETON, England, March 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Clinicians will soon have access to patient's complete medical record for the first time
InterSystems, a global leader in health information technology, today announced a partnership with Lincolnshire Health and Care (LHAC) that will help LHAC achieve its ambitious goal to transform health and social care services in the county, potentially saving up to £4 million every year.
Patients and clinicians in Lincolnshire will soon experience the benefits of an integrated care record through InterSystems HealthShare®. Delivered on the world's leading health informatics platform, the system will allow multiple health and care providers to securely share essential patient information - improving patient outcomes as a result. Effective data sharing is a key factor in improving health outcomes, and is integral to helping LHAC achieve a more "joined-up" service for the circa 730,000 people who make Lincolnshire their home.

LHAC brings together 13 health and social care organisations in the county, including CCGs, acute trusts, and the local authority. Together they have a collective vision for improving local health and care services, achieving better health outcomes, and securing a more sustainable financial position. The key partners in the system are working together to realise the connected future as set out by NHS England's Chief Executive Simon Stevens in his "Five Year Forward View".
HealthShare brings this possibility to life, empowering clinicians and offering the opportunity to access life-saving information region-wide. The end-to-end system will allow clinicians across Lincolnshire to view a shared patient care record, with important health details like current prescriptions, medical history, and details of current and past illnesses.
Currently it can take hours to share this information among organisations. With HealthShare, an A&E consultant, for instance, will be able to access a patient's clinical records in seconds.
The organisation has secured £1 million in funding to bring the system to life and believes it could help cut down on unnecessary imaging and lab tests, saving up to £4 million per year.
LHAC has been working since 2013 to develop the local health and social care service. The partnership with InterSystems will enable the programme to share patient information safely and securely, empowering clinicians to make the best choices. Improving the flow of data and sharing medical records across the system were key desires for clinicians and the 15,000 members of the public who were involved in the comprehensive engagements programme.
