Principle Project Manager

The implementation of the One Devon Electronic Patient Record (EPR) is the largest digital transformation ever undertaken within the Devon healthcare system.

This exciting and challenging programme aims to fundamentally change how we deliver health and care in Devon in a way that is both clinically and financially sustainable. In implementing the programme, we will be guided by ensuring we do the right thing for our patients and carers, people and communities as well as creating a working environment which better enables our staff to deliver the best care, they can every day.

The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (RDUHFT) will be working with Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust (TSDFT) and University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust (UHPT) to develop a Devon-wide EPR using Epic software. The solution will be jointly owned, implemented and supported in a truly collaborative programme. We will be working as one system to collectively adopt standardised best practice of clinical, operational and administrative pathways.

This is not just an implementation of a digital solution; this is clinically led transformation programme ensuring the programme is focused on what is right for the patients and staff across Devon.

The key to unlocking this major programme of change is the engagement and involvement of service users and staff in delivering the changes needed.
