Kainos advances digital healthcare transformation
Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust drives healthcare
transformation in the cloud with Kainos Evolve
Belfast and London, UK - 23 January 2018 - Kainos Group plc, a
leading provider of Digital Services and Platforms, announces the
successful collaboration with Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS
Foundation Trust to implement cloud-managed Evolve Electronic
Medical Records (EMR) in the Trust.
The deal will see the award-winning Kainos Evolve EMR platform
migrate from an on-premise solution to a Microsoft Azure
cloud-hosted managed service. The announcement is a response to the
growing focus from digital leaders within the NHS on managed
services and cloud-based solutions. These are seen as key areas for
overcoming some of the biggest challenges Trusts face which include
limited financial resources, stretched IT budgets and ongoing
security risks.
The cloud-based Evolve EMR solution further enhances Kainos'
reputation for enabling digital transformation using cloud
technologies. With patient records being a key information source
for clinicians, the deal represents increased confidence within
healthcare organisations in the security and financial benefits of
moving towards cloud-based solutions such as Evolve EMR.
Brendan Mooney, CEO of Kainos, commented "This is a very
exciting project for us. We're delighted to work with one of the
most innovative Trusts in the UK to become a pathfinder for
cloud-based infrastructure within the NHS. The Trust will benefit
from advanced security, fully managed end-to-end operational
maintenance, managed upgrades by dedicated Evolve platform experts
and ease of scalability, all of which support the Trust's ambitions
as a digital leader in the NHS. Kainos has been a key supplier of
cloud-based managed services to the UK Government Digital Service
projects for many years, and this deal highlights further the value
and innovation that our experience and the Evolve EMR solution
brings to our customers."
Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust is the
largest specialist heart and lung NHS centre in the UK and one of
the largest in Europe, carrying out major cardiothoracic
surgery.
The move to the cloud is part of a major transformational
programme within the Trust to enable efficient and effective
approaches to patient care through the use of digital and
technology solutions.
Joanna Smith, CIO of Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS
Foundation Trust commented "Our strategy is cloud first - we're
delighted to be working with the Kainos team on this project. By
investing in IT services and solutions that third-party vendors
such as Kainos have proven experience in, our internal IT function
can focus on supporting our clinical teams to bring real benefits
to our patients."
