FIVE PCTs in Leeds to Implement RiO

CSE Servelec has been awarded a major contract to migrate several systems to RiO, the web based clinical information system, in five Primary Care Trusts in Leeds. Over two thousand clinicians will access the system, many of them mobile, from locations across the city.

RiO is the ideal solution for working efficiently in a mobile setting over GPRS as it has very low bandwidth requirements. This means that the system supports a variety of mobile intermediate care professionals, ranging from District Nurses, Health Visitors and Occupational therapists to CPNs and Podiatrists.

Commenting on the project, Lynton Tremayne, Director of Health Informatics, said "RiO's modern web based architecture makes it the perfect solution for all staff and for integration with the National Programme for IT and the NHS Care Record Service".

The Leeds PCTs aim was to select an information system that would support the 2,000 clinicians in their daily tasks and improve the quality of patient care. The award of the contract confirms RiO as the system of choice for community based clinical staff in Primary Care.
