Bradford fast tracks new mental health system
Bradford District Care Trust is leading the way with a new care record system.
Working in close partnership with CSE Healthcare Systems they installed RiO V5.1 across Bradford, Airedale and Craven in less than five months.
Over 1200 Care Trust users now have a single source of clinical information leading to faster, more efficient treatment across all care settings.
The trust’s complex and integrated approach to mental health care is brought together through the system’s broad functionality including common assessments and care planning tools.
RiO also provides specialist assessments and progress notes and fully supports the Mental Health Act 2007.
Both clinical and corporate governance requirements are met through RiO’s powerful reporting capability, including support for the Mental Health Minimum Dataset (MHMDS).
Tony Middleton, Head of Information at the trust, said: "After carrying out a rigorous procurement exercise through ASCC we were confident that RiO was the right choice for us.
The Intuitive user interface and flexible approach to information gathering and reporting proved to be a winning formula for both our clinicians and corporate management teams.
RiO has enabled us to meet all of our current information needs and has provided the trust with a robust platform to move towards Foundation Trust Status.”
One of only five similar trusts nation-wide, Bradford District Care Trust provides specialist help and support to people with mental health problems and learning disabilities.
CSE Healthcare Systems is one of the UK's most successful healthcare systems providers and is the company behind the highly respected RiO Care Records System.
Today, over 50,000 clinicians across the UK are registered users of CSE Healthcare Systems products and the delivery of RiO across London and the south of England is one of the largest system implementations undertaken as part of the National Programme for IT.
