Nervecentre was confirmed the preferred bidder after scoring the highest in a joint competitive tender process, demonstrating its understanding of the needs of both trusts and the wider ICB.

Each trust will deploy Nervecentre on the company's cloud-native EPR platform, which has a software-as-a-service (SaaS) architecture.  

The next-generation EPR will give clinicians access to real-time electronic patient records on mobile devices at the patient's bedside.

James Hawkins, chief digital and Information officer at York and Scarborough, said: ‘Our goal is to provide modern, intuitive and mobile systems that will help our staff to provide excellent healthcare every day and continue to strive to provide an excellent patient experience every time.'

Dr Jacqueline Andrews, executive medical director and executive lead for digital at Harrogate, added: ‘Having the right information at the right time in a user-friendly way will significantly improve our colleague and patient experience and the quality of care we can provide.'
