System C's CareFlow EPR system, which provides clinicians with real-time access to patient records, is being rolled-out at New Cross Hospital, Cannock Chase Hospital and West Park Hospital.

Gwen Nuttall, managing director of The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, said: ‘The launch of our new EPR is a significant milestone in our digital journey. By harnessing the latest technology, we're creating a more connected, efficient and responsive service for patients across our hospitals and community services. The system will reduce duplication and improve communication.'

CareFlow EPR has also been adopted by Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust as part of Black Country ICS's ambition for standardised, joined-up healthcare across the region.

Guy Lucchi, managing director of Healthcare at System C, said: ‘We're thrilled to support The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust in this landmark deployment. Large scale deployments can be susceptible to delays and complications, and our proven delivery track record and close collaboration with the trust has ensured a smooth transition. 

‘This go-live is a powerful example of how digital innovation can enable transformation at scale, and we're proud to be part of it.'
