Dedalus Positioning Regarding HSSIB EPR Safety Findings
A recent HSSIB review highlights ongoing patient-safety risks associated with EPR systems across the NHS, including issues around usability, interoperability, engagement, and governance. Dedalus recognises these challenges and has aligned its product strategy, design approach, and implementation methodology to address them. This article outlines how ORBIS and the wider Dedalus ecosystem are designed to mitigate the risks identified.
The recent HSSIB thematic review highlights persistent patient-safety risks associated with the design, implementation, and optimisation of EPR systems across the NHS. Many of these challenges, including usability, functionality, poor interoperability, limited user engagement, accessibility, and inconsistent governance, are well-recognised across the sector.
Dedalus fully acknowledges these issues, and much of our current roadmap, product design philosophy, and implementation methodology has been deliberately structured to address exactly these pain points.
