London Join the RiO Carnival

BT Capital Care Alliance, the Local Service Provider for London, has selected CSE Servelec’s RiO system as an interim solution to meet the immediate business needs of Mental Health and Community Trusts in London.

The RiO system is being set up with a standard configuration for Mental Health and for Primary Care Trust services to create common business processes and clinical practice throughout the Capital.

The initial order will see RiO deployed to Trusts across London throughout 2006 as part of the National Programme for IT being implemented by NHS Connecting for Health.   The value of the contract will continue to increase and, in addition a maintenance contract established once the first trusts have gone live.

The first system go-lives are scheduled for March 2006 and comprise implementation of patient administration and electronic care record functionality across each Trust. 

Alan Stubbs, Managing Director of CSE Servelec stated, “We are delighted to have been selected by BT CCA.   RiO has been proven to deliver benefits to the NHS and we look forward to growing the RiO success story in London.  Our partnership with Connecting for Health and BT CCA will deliver real clinical benefits to both patients and clinicians now.”

The RiO product is functionality rich and combines PAS functionality, for example, patient registration, ADT and appointment scheduling, with the ability to record clinical notes and conduct specialist assessments.  RiO is a web based system with a highly intuitive interface through which care professionals can plan, schedule and record the treatment received by patients in their care.
