- Published justification
As part of the integration of IT systems across the One Devon footprint (using EPIC Beaker) and in line with our wider strategic aims and to support the rapid implementation of a single Patient Access System across the ICB that Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (TSDFT) will be aligning itself with Royal Devon University Hospital (RDUH) existing systems and structures. It is imperative that TSDFT align its pathology pathways with RDUH to facilitate a fully integrated and shared Devon wide system in support of the One Devon Epic initiative to improve the delivery of patient care. Instrument Manager is also an Epic endorsed system used by the vast majority of Epic Beaker customers to interface laboratory instruments and already in place and therefore the decision was made to adopt this approach to enable a rapid deployment across the South of the One Devon footprint.
