Introducing Our New Digital Clinical System
Transforming Care Through Innovation
We’re excited to announce the launch of our new Digital Clinical System (DCS) - a transformative programme being delivered jointly by East Cheshire NHS Trust and Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
From 14 June 2025, we will begin transitioning to a new electronic patient record system, powered by MEDITECH, that will mark a significant step forward in the way we deliver care.
What This Means for Patients and Staff
The Digital Clinical System brings together an individual's key information such as medical history, medications, diagnostics, imaging, and test results - all in one secure, digital space. This modern, streamlined approach will help improve clinical decision-making and enhance patient safety across our hospitals.
Over time, this system will reduce our reliance on paper records and lay the foundation for future innovation in patient care.
A Major Milestone for Our Trusts
Launched in 2022, the DCS Programme is one of the most ambitious and wide-reaching transformation projects undertaken by our Trusts. We’re proud to be delivering this together and excited about the opportunities it brings for our staff, patients, and communities.
