PEOPLE are at the HEART of everything we do.
BHRUT is working to implement a new cross care setting, real-time, patient-centered Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system that will improve the quality and delivery of care to the patient. The new system Oracle Health Millennium will be implemented as a domain extension from Barts Health to BHRUT, and will be deployed across the Trust in June 2025.
