Throughout the delivery period, it is essential to maintain focus on the outcome of the project.  This type of project will have a major impact on many hospital processes and practices and will need to be monitored to ensure that they are delivering the expected benefits and increase in staff efficiency, effectiveness and patient safety.

We constantly review the impact that the project will have within the Trust and carry out a series of exercises that would be beneficial to the Trust:

• Benefits tracking workshops with clinicians and administrative staff

• Technology reviews with Suppliers and NHS IT management

• Analysis of ways of exploiting the new records repository to deliver (unforeseen) benefits in patient care and clinical efficiency

• Lessons-learnt workshops
