Cerner’s EHR platform is already in place at Barts Health NHS Trust, the largest NHS trust in England.

Any staff from Barts Health offering care in the temporary hospital will already have access to the system, which will reduce the need for further training.

Barts Health’s EPR is already linked with the network of pathology providers in East London, which will help staff request and access tests quickly and electronically.

Cerner added that its health information exchange interoperability platform is also established between Barts Health and local primary and community care providers, enabling better sharing of patient information locally.
