Case study

The Christie: modernisation of electronic health record

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is the largest single site cancer centre in Europe treating more than 60,000 patients a year. Due to its pioneering treatments for cancer, it is the first UK centre to be accredited as a comprehensive cancer centre.

  • The Christie is adopting a platform-based approach and moving to a data-centric model with openEHR at the core.
  • Better’s low-code tools, an integral part of Better Digital Health Platform, are used to support the modernisation of The Christie’s Electronic Health Record and the transformation of clinical, patient, and cancer research services.
  • The Christie also selected Better Meds, an electronic prescribing and medicines administrations (ePMA) solution. It will facilitate a seamless embedded user interface with clinical staff able to access the medications from within the EHR.
