"Digital technology is used to record clinical records to ensure continuing high standards of patient care using three key ICT systems: an Electronic Patient Care Report, a Mobile Data Terminal and Communications Hub. A team of more than a hundred have been involved over many years to make this project a success. It is a shining example of strong team work, dedication and a common goal to improve patient care. We are all very proud of this project and everything that we have all achieved as a team."
