EMIS-X, a new cloud-based solution that links different healthcare teams and systems, is at the centre of a suite of innovations from the company, which serves healthcare professionals in over 10,000 UK organisations.
The firm said its next-generation software will upgrade and extend EMIS Web, the clinical system used by 56% of GPs, to meet the current and future needs of customers and end users including patients, clinicians and the NHS.
Built on a cloud platform, EMIS-X is a new ecosystem that fully supports NHS Digital’s interoperability standards but “goes significantly further” by allowing applications to selectively share live data through cross application working.
The listed firm has this year had to execute a recovery plan after failings were found on an NHS contract.
EMIS Group CEO Andy Thorburn said: “EMIS-X is massively scalable and provides unprecedented levels of protection for patient data, including strong encryption of sensitive data.
“It is designed as a portfolio of foundation services upon which clinical applications can be developed, both by EMIS Group and partners. This will also allow new solution providers with interesting technologies such as artificial intelligence to overcome the traditional barriers to market entry by leveraging the interoperability at the heart of our new architecture.
“We believe EMIS-X will help to hugely improve efficiency and patient safety, while providing dramatic cost savings to the NHS”
