Blackrock Health, an Ireland-based private healthcare provider, has partnered with RLDatix, a UK-headquartered healthcare technology company, to adopt IPeople Offline Suite to support continuity of care, improve patient safety and strengthen operational resilience across its MEDITECH environment according to a PR Newswire report.

Building on the solution's success across North America, this first European deployment will help clinical and operational teams maintain access to near-real-time patient information during downtime events, reducing reliance on manual, paper-based processes.

Blackrock Health comprises three hospitals (Blackrock Clinic, Hermitage Clinic and Galway Clinic) alongside a diagnostic clinic in Limerick, employs 2,800 staff and treats more than 325,000 patients annually across its network.

The IPeople Offline Suite provides continuous capture of registration data and always-available access to discrete patient data, enabling clinicians to view up-to-date information from moments prior to downtime and continue managing care through the electronic patient record rather than reverting to out-of-date static printouts. With an interface that mimics MEDITECH, IPeople keeps clinicians connected to information and critical workflows with minimal training required.

Raphael Jaffrezic, Group Transformation Director and Chief Information Officer at Blackrock Health, stated that when downtime events occur, patients must trust the organisation can still provide the highest quality, digitally enabled care. "RLDatix empowers us to ensure that continuity of care with confidence," he said.

Following downtime, entering data collected from typical paper processes can take several hours. IPeople drastically reduces this timeframe, helping organisations save time and resume operations much faster once systems are restored.
