6PM’s CareSolutions Climate-HIV is now live at The Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and will soon be used for clinical management support of their HIV care.
Pennine is a significant centre for HIV treatment and strategic hub for 6PM in the North West.
Climate-HIV is a specialised electronic care record system for HIV medicine which follows the clinical work streams of the HIV team to support efficient communication within multi-disciplinary, collaborative team operations in providing patient-centred care.
Climate-HIV makes it easier and safer to prescribe, document patient encounters, write clinical letters and code diagnoses.
From a pharmaceutical perspective, Climate-HIV also enables the management of medications. The workload of the clinician in generating prescriptions, the pharmacists screening and processing of these items and the collection by patients can be issued via the system. This enables the clinic to monitor usage of drugs, budget for current and future requirements and ensures that the clinic is able to operate in a highly efficient and cost-effective way.
