Population Health Solution to
Deliver Integrated Care

Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust is hoping to continue its
market leading adoption of digital technologies as it becomes
the first United Kingdom client to introduce population health
management solutions from technology partner Allscripts.

to a new model of integrated care.

Salford Royal is a large teaching NHS Trust that provides community and hospital services, with 728 beds and more than
7,000 staff. Already a forward-thinking organisation when it
comes to the use of technology-enabled care provision, the Trust
is ranked number one in the UK NHS’ CDMI (Clinical Digital
Maturity Index).
NHS England also recently selected Salford Royal as one of 29
vanguard sites tasked with developing new models of care. CareInMotion supports Salford Royal’s overall population health
strategy by helping the organisation develop a new integrated
care model that meets the health and social care needs of the community. The system will connect the existing integrated EHR to
the broader community to provide safer and more efficient care.
Initially, Allscripts will connect Salford’s Acute and General Practitioner primary care physicians, providing a comprehensive view
of patient information to enable fully informed care decisions.
Future phases are expected to explore expanded connectivity to
the region’s mental health and social care organisations.
“Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust chose Allscripts as a key
partner to help our organisation evolve to meet the demands of
population health management and empower our care providers with the data they need to make informed decisions around
patient care,” said Rachel Dunscombe, Chief Information
Officer, Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust. “Working with
Allscripts will help our organisation adopt more efficient, valueadded care models to improve patient outcomes.”
“The healthcare industry faces considerable challenges with
aging population and patients with multiple comorbidities,
which is placing a huge strain on services. The UK has a strategic

imperative to improve the quality of care and to do so at a lower
cost. Simultaneously, there is a need to improve the efficiency of
care provision whilst shifting to proactive management of health
of populations.” comments Steven Brain, Managing Director of
Allscripts UK.
Salford Royal and the Salford CCG are hoping that the move
will help them take another significant step forward in improving
the efficiency and the quality of care that they provide to their
local population by ensuring that all clinicians have access to all
relevant patent information no matter where that data resides.
“Critical to transformation and the introduction of new models
of care is having all the information in the
