Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust are winners in the Health Tech Awards 2023

We’re thrilled to report that Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells (MTW) NHS Trust has been announced as the winner in the Health Tech Digital Pathway and Workflow Optimisation Award category in the HTN Tech Awards 2023!

The trust developed a leading-edge Virtual Fracture Clinic (VFC) within Altera Digital Health’s Sunrise™ electronic patient record (EPR). This workflow management solution has saved eight days of admin time per month and is revolutionising data collection. It also helped drive better accessibility and delivered a smoother patient pathway—all while inspiring other trusts and departments.

The VFC itself is a service that expedites access to orthopaedic care for patients attending A&E across MTW, which comprises two hospital sites and a Minor Injury Unit (MIU). The service provides a thorough digital pathway from admission in ED through to inpatient, theatre and outpatient services, such as physiotherapy. The VFC is the first instance of a fully digital pathway for fractures deployed in an EPR, helping streamline the patient pathway while improving their experiences.

Key outcomes:

– Reduced printing costs
– Saved eight days of admin time per month
– Revolutionised data collection and accessibility
– Streamlined the patient pathway
