West Midlands Ambulance Service share patient data to improve emergency care

West Midlands Ambulance Service share patient data to improve emergency care

West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) are using the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG) to access valuable patient information to provide effective, efficient care to patients, to improve the delivery of emergency care across the region.

Background

As the region’s emergency ambulance service, West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) responds to 4,000 999 calls every day, dealing with a wide range of emergencies from patients who require critical care to non-emergency patient transport services, transporting patients who require non-emergency transfers to and from hospital and are unable to travel unaided due to their medical condition.

In the past, emergency room staff and ambulance crews did not have access to detailed patient information, and the control room only had access to basic information through the Summary Care Record (SCR). Integration of the MIG into ambulance service systems, 111 urgent care using Adastra and 999 emergency service using Cleric has given their control room professionals and paramedics access to real-time patient data 24/7.

Healthcare Gateway have worked with WMAS to join up large geographies of patient data across from Sandwell and West Birmingham CCG and Birmingham and Solihull CCG via You Care Connected programme and further connecting Coventry, Rugby and North Warwickshire CCG. Joining up the localities ensures healthcare professionals have vital information at the point of care for a wider demographic of patients.

What did they do?

WMAS adopted the MIG’s Detailed Care Record (DCR) and Supportive Care Dataset   providing a wide range of primary care information integrating the information direct into Your Care Connected (Birmingham). This has allowed their emergency service call handlers to immediately access patient information for any member of the public calling 999 and 111 in their native systems.

Phil Collins, Head of IM&T for West Midlands Ambulance Service, was delighted at how Healthcare Gateway handled the implementation process.

“Project managers clearly knew the steps that were required to achieve implementation. While that sounds obvious, sadly it has not been the same with all suppliers.”

With MIG service implemented healthcare professionals at WMAS are now provided with a richer view of a patient’s medical record to support them assessing an individual on the phone, which is helping to save time and improve the delivery of service.

What are the benefits?

During the last six months usage of the MIG in their native system Cleric has more than doubled. WMAS has seen a better triage of patients’ needs through both 999 emergency care and 111 urgent care services which has helped:

  • reduce the need for ambulatory call outs
  • reduce the referral to hospital back to GP
  • access to out of area patient records
  • enable supportive care, in line patient wishes.
