More Award Nominations for SystmOne and its Users

SystmOne Lincolnshire hospice user needs your vote!

Last month, we announced that the St Barnabas Hospice Lincolnshire Project had been nominated for the Computing Award for Excellence 2008 in the Community Project of the Year category.

Now, we announce that ICT Manager at St Barnabas, Darren Holmes, has been nominated for the BT eHealth Insider Awards 2008 as 'Healthcare ICT Champion of the Year'.

Darren single-handedly implements, maintains and supports all IT for the eight-site hospice. Despite being a non-NHS, charitable organisation, with no permanent N3 connection, he delivered an NPfIT shared clinical system (SystmOne Palliative) to 70 users (with minimal IT skills), improving data quality, carer communication, patient care and patient confidence in that care.

To go the final step and win the award, Darren needs your vote! Go to www.ehealthawards.com/champions and click on 'Vote for Darren Holmes'. Voting closes on 16 November 2008,with the winner being announced at a ceremony on 17 November.

SystmOne Prison nominated for Excellence in Healthcare Information Management

The SystmOne Prison system has reached the final shortlist of the 'Excellence in Healthcare Information Management' category of the BT eHealth Insider Awards 2008, under the title 'CSC:Prison Healthcare Solution'.

The judges in this category are looking for outstanding work in healthcare information management that has delivered measurable benefits to patient care and that either have been or could be replicated elsewhere and scaled up.
Entrants will also be judged on their effectiveness in communicating their work and success in engaging colleagues. The finalists will be able to demonstrate fresh thinking and innovation, though this may include, for example, new ways of using existing information or linking previously isolated sets of information.
The SystmOne Prison solution is competing with 'Liverpool PCT: A New Health Service for Liverpool' and 'University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation: Using Health Data to Look at Quality Outcomes for Patients'.

The winning project will be announced at a ceremony on 17 November.
