Dedalus NHS Humber EPR implementation to unify patient records across services

  • Dedalus will implement its ORBIS EPR platform for the NHS Humber Health Partnership, covering acute and community services for 1.5 million people across Northern and North-East Lincolnshire, Hull, and East Yorkshire.

  • The platform aims to unify patient information and replace multiple legacy systems with a single interoperable EPR to support safer, more connected care.

  • This collaboration reflects ongoing digital transformation in NHS systems and is part of broader health tech modernization efforts across the UK.

Dedalus NHS Humber EPR implementation is underway after NHS Humber Health Partnership selected Dedalus to deliver its ORBIS electronic patient record (EPR) platform. The project will unify patient information across acute and community services serving over 1.5 million people in Northern and North-East Lincolnshire, Hull, and East Yorkshire, replacing multiple legacy systems with an integrated, interoperable EPR.

The ORBIS EPR solution is designed to support safer and more connected care by providing real-time access to patient records, clinical workflows, and integrated decision support tools across services. This digital transformation initiative aligns with broader NHS objectives to enhance clinical outcomes, streamline administration, and improve interoperability across care settings.

What the Dedalus NHS Humber EPR implementation involves

Dedicated to improving the digital maturity of health care delivery, the ORBIS platform by Dedalus will centralise patient histories, clinical data, medication records, and diagnostic information into a single system. This unified EPR will replace disparate legacy systems, helping clinicians make quicker, data-informed decisions and simplifying collaborative care pathways across multiple providers.

Digital health implications

Deploying a modern EPR system is part of an ongoing shift towards interoperable healthcare IT infrastructure within the NHS, supporting both clinical effectiveness and administrative efficiency. Integrated digital records can reduce duplicative work, enhance patient safety, and improve continuity of care for complex and long-term conditions.
