Deputy Chief Nursing Information Officer - Subject to banding

E-Care is the name we give to our ambitious digital transformation programme and the implementation of our electronic patient record across our 3 hospital sites which has been happening over the last 2 years. Our roadmap to get here was co-created with our stakeholders and will continue to evolve.

It underpins all our clinical activities with a comprehensive suite of digital solutions, engagement and training. E-Care will touch every patient and clinician and will unify how we work with NHS partner organisations.

The digital solutions will be used contemporaneously, delivering a comprehensive longitudinal shared care record. We will make the capability widely available to our patients, our clinicians, and to partner organisations across the Cornwall and Isles Of Scilly healthcare system. The underlying management information and data will be used to improve service, support decisions, plan, predict and respond and ultimately produce impactful research that will shape the future of medicine.

This role will play a pivotal part in ensuring we are able to achieve this.
