It follows a move by the South Eastern Trust to move from paper-based files to an electronic system
A baby girl made a historic arrival into the world in the early hours of Thursday as the first baby to be born in Northern Ireland without any paper records.
As Nylah made her way into the world, the South Eastern Trust waved goodbye to patient paper records and became the first health trust in Northern Ireland to implement encompass, the major new regional digital patient healthcare record system. Her proud mum Chantelle Jolley said: “The new digital record will be so helpful. I am thrilled that Nylah was the first baby in Northern Ireland to have a digital health record.”
Northern Ireland Health and Social Care has partnered with the global leader Epic to build the encompass system which is unique to Northern Ireland. Epic currently provides electronic records for over 300 million people within the UK and across the world.
