Sunderland, NHS Trust, UK
Dr Karen Horridge is a Consultant Paediatrician (Disability) in Sunderland and immediate past Chair of the British Academy of Childhood Disability. In this case study she explains how each and every need for disabled children and their families require accurate identification and description, using a common language. Making every need visible is the first step towards these being addressed.
Rotherham, NHS Trust
Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust decided to move to an electronic patient record system, replacing their PAS system in the process.
They worked closely with their chosen supplier to adapt the existing supplier product to utilise SNOMED CT throughout for both procedure and diagnosis recording. It is the first instantiation of this system in the UK and this case study aims to provide an overview of their achievements.
