Introducing Our New Digital Clinical System
Transforming Care Through Innovation
We’re excited to announce the launch of our new Digital Clinical System (DCS) - a transformative programme being delivered jointly by East Cheshire NHS Trust and Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
From 14 June, we will begin transitioning to a new electronic patient record system, powered by MEDITECH, that will mark a significant step forward in the way we deliver care.
What This Means for Patients and Staff
The Digital Clinical System brings together key information such as medical history, medications, diagnostics, imaging, and test results - all in one secure, digital space. This modern, streamlined approach will help improve clinical decision-making and enhance patient safety across our hospitals.
Over time, this system will reduce our reliance on paper records and lay the foundation for future innovation in patient care.
A Major Milestone for Our Trusts
Launched in 2022, the DCS Programme is one of the most ambitious and wide-reaching transformation projects undertaken by our Trusts. We’re proud to be delivering this together and excited about the opportunities it brings for our staff, patients, and communities.
What to Expect During Go Live
As we move from paper to an electronic system, there may be temporary delays as staff get used to the new system. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding during this period.
Your care remains our top priority, and our teams will be working hard to ensure a smooth and safe transition.
Stay Informed
We’ll continue to share updates and information on our website as the programme progresses. We encourage you to help us spread the word by sharing this update with friends and family.
