The ten-year contract with Alcidion makes North Cumbia the third Trust in the region to use the system which will mobile working and streamline patient flow. 

North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) has signed a long-term agreement to use the Alcidion Miya Precision platform as the basis for its electronic patient record (EPR). North Cumbia is now the third Trust in the region to use the system. 

The full Miya Precision EPR will enable mobile working, streamline patient flow, support clinical decision-making processes and provide clinicians with real-time access to a unified patient record.

“This innovative, user-friendly system will streamline workflows, reduce duplication, and provide our teams with the tools they need to focus on what matters most – our patients,” said Adrian Clements, executive medical director for North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust. “By integrating cutting-edge technology, we are not just keeping pace with modern healthcare, but setting a standard for safer, smarter, and more efficient care delivery,” he continued.

Support for all functional roles

The Miya Precision EPR will support care delivery across emergency, inpatient and outpatient services. Clinical workflows will be complemented by the availability of a real-time patient flow management capability and extensive clinical documentation functionality that is designed to support all clinical roles in documenting patient care.

The use of the cloud-hosted, web-based solution will be extended through the provision of a smartphone-based mobile app that will provide care teams with access to the full patient record wherever and whenever needed.

This agreement will extend Alcidion’s footprint in the North East North Cumbria region, with Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust currently using the Miya Precision Patient Administration System (PAS) module, and South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust using the EPR platform.

The contract follows a July 2024 announcement in which NCIC named Alcidion as the preferred bidder for its EPR.
