North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) has signed an agreement for use of the Alcidion Miya Precision platform in providing an electronic patient record (EPR).
The trust and the company have agreed on a 10-year contract, with options to extend for another five, valued at between £19.5 million and £31 million.
Alcidion said the cloud hosted, web based EPR will support care delivery across emergency, inpatient and outpatient services, and includes a real time patient flow management capability and extensive clinical documentation functionality.
It will also enable mobile working, streamline patient flow, support clinical decision making processes and provide clinicians with real time access to a unified patient record.
Transforming patient care
Dr Adrian Clements, executive medical director at NCIC, said: “Our partnership with Alcidion and the introduction of the Miya Precision EPR platform marks a significant step forward in transforming how we deliver patient care at NCIC.”
He added: “By integrating cutting edge technology, we are not just keeping pace with modern healthcare, but setting a standard for safer, smarter and more efficient care delivery.”
The agreement extends Alcidion’s footprint in the North East North Cumbria region, with the Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust currently using the Miya Precision Patient Administration System (PAS) module, and South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust using the EPR platform.
The contract follows a July 2024 announcement in which NCIC named Alcidion as preferred bidder for its EPR.
