Click here Enhancing data for effective careWe’ve launched a new video case study, which explains how the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG) has been enabled by Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The video explains how hospital teams have benefited from access to real time GP data, which is helping them to make faster and safer clinical decisions. “Within the first couple of months we were having around a 1000 hits on the MIG, so if you imagine 1000 phone calls to the GP each taking around five minutes, that’s 5000 minutes back per month. The MIG’s grown exponentially since then, we're now using it trust wide, so the amount of hours we’re saving in time for pharmacists, doctors and nurses is huge”.
