What is Clinical & Systems Transformation (CST)?

CST is a project to improve patient care by making sure that our practices are evidence-based and consistent across clinical areas, and we are supported by smarter technology including an electronic health record.

This will be a huge change in the way we deliver patient care, so dedicated education and support will be provided.

Why Are We Doing This?

Too many patients suffer from adverse events

Too much variation and too many workarounds in patient care

Too much time spent chasing paper charts and completing unnecessary paperwork

Too many duplicate tests

Too much time between an order being written and the patient receiving therapy

Too many old, separate clinical information systems

“Accurate information is critical to providing good quality and safe patient care.”

Vicky Crompton, CST Executive Director and Transformation Lead, PHSA
