Newcastle NHS Trust has openly announced that it is to obtain a Patient Records Database system direct from a USA hospital sidelining the UK NHS NPfIT.
It is understood that that a number of other NHS Trust are also looking to go the same route as the delays for the roll out of the NHS own NPfIT scheme continue to suffer various delays.
So much for this Labour Governments promise of a single patient records system promised in 2002 to be rolled out by the begriming of 2005!
Here’s is more background to the above story and some other background info.
