The Apollo Programme: Powering the world’s largest Epic implementation in London NHS Trusts
NTT DATA's partnership with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in the Apollo Programme, the largest ever single go-live of the Epic Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system worldwide, is a significant milestone in the digital transformation of London’s healthcare system.
Supporting more than 40,000 staff, with almost 3,000 beds, and serving 3.6 million citizens, the Apollo Programme, led by the Trusts, introduced the Epic EPR system across their hospital network, marking one of the world’s largest Epic implementations. Epic replaces outdated IT and paper records, improving access to patient data. Clinicians access patient information in the Epic application with associated documents presented from the Civica Document Management system in context within Epic.
The Apollo Programme’s success was largely driven by the seamless collaboration between NTT DATA, NHS clinicians, Civica, Epic, and other Apollo IT partners, fostering a harmonious environment that encouraged shared responsibility among those involved, resulting in the delivery of the biggest ever single go-live of Epic’s EPR system anywhere in the world, with agility and pace.
