Calderdale And Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust runs Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, Huddersfield and Calderdale Royal Hospital, Halifax, both in West Yorkshire, England. It became a Foundation Trust in 2006. The rebuilding of Calderdale Royal Hospital by the Catalyst consortium which now services and maintains the hospital was a Private Finance Initiative costing £103 million. There were suggestions in 2014 that the A&E Department in Calderdale Royal Hospital could be closed or downgraded. This was opposed by MPs in Halifax. Proposals envisaged one site, probably Huddersfield dealing with urgent cases, having an A&E Department, and more beds, with the other site, probably Halifax, dealing with planned work, and having fewer beds. In 2016 new plans to close the A&E Department in Huddersfield and centralise in Halifax aroused considerable opposition in Huddersfield. In 2017 more detailed plans were produced envisaging the demolition of Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
NHS Hospital Trust
A hospital trust, also known as an acute trust, is an NHS trust that provides secondary health services within the English National Health Service and, until they were abolished, in NHS Wales. Hospital trusts were commissioned to provide these services by NHS primary care trusts and now by clinical commissioning groups. NHS trusts were established by the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990 as the first step in setting up an internal market. NHS foundation trusts were regulated by Monitor until 2016, when it was merged with the NHS Trust Development Authority to form NHS Improvement. As of January 2014, there were 59 NHS hospital trusts, out of the total of 97 NHS trusts supervised by the TDA.{{cite web, url=http://www.ntda.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/winter_report_web-FINAL.pdf , title=Winter Report , publisher=NHS Trust Development Authority , access-date=29 March 2014 See also *List of NHS trusts *List of hospitals in England *List of hospitals in Wales ...

Electronic Patient Record
An electronic health record (EHR) is the systematized collection of patient and population electronically stored health information in a digital format. These records can be shared across different health care settings. Records are shared through network-connected, enterprise-wide information systems or other information networks and exchanges. EHRs may include a range of data, including demographics, medical history, medication and allergies, immunization status, laboratory test results, radiology images, vital signs, personal statistics like age and weight, and billing information. For several decades, electronic health records (EHRs) have been touted as key to increasing of quality care. Electronic health records are used for other reasons than charting for patients; today, providers are using data from patient records to improve quality outcomes through their care management programs. EHR combines all patients demographics into a large pool, and uses this information to assi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Locala
Locala Community Partnerships is a community interest company providing NHS community services in Yorkshire. It was developed by Kirklees Primary Care Trust as a result of the Transforming Community Services initiative in 2011. Their first generation of mobile workers used rugged Toughbook laptops and had access to clinical records, but had to go back to the office for anything else.

Both patients and staff can use Microsoft Lync. All staff are now equipped with mobile devices using Dell technology with a hybrid cloud which can be used by employees over 3G or Wi-Fi to create and access records and manage work schedules. This permits staff to work without having repeatedly to return to an office base, which saves time in an area which is 40% rural. The digital system costs around 7% of the organisation’s tur ...

UNISON
In music, unison is two or more musical parts that sound either the same pitch or pitches separated by intervals of one or more octaves, usually at the same time. ''Rhythmic unison'' is another term for homorhythm. Definition Unison or perfect unison (also called a prime, or perfect prime)Benward & Saker (2003), p. 53. may refer to the (pseudo-) interval formed by a tone and its duplication (in German, ''Unisono'', ''Einklang'', or ''Prime''), for example C–C, as differentiated from the second, C–D, etc. In the unison the two pitches have the ratio of 1:1 or 0 half steps and zero cents. Although two tones in unison are considered to be the same pitch, they are still perceivable as coming from separate sources, whether played on instruments of a different type: ; or of the same type: . This is because a pair of tones in unison come from different locations or can have different "colors" (timbres), i.e. come from different musical instruments or human voices. Voices wit ...

Calderdale covers part of the South Pennines, and the Calder Valley is the southernmost of the Yorkshire Dales, though it is not part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Private Finance Initiative
The private finance initiative (PFI) was a United Kingdom government procurement policy aimed at creating "public–private partnerships" (PPPs) where private firms are contracted to complete and manage public projects. Initially launched in 1992 by Prime Minister John Major, and expanded considerably by the Blair government, PFI is part of the wider programme of privatisation and financialisation, and presented as a means for increasing accountability and efficiency for public spending. PFI was controversial in the UK. In 2003, the National Audit Office felt that it provided good value for money overall; according to critics, PFI has been used simply to place a great amount of debt "off-balance-sheet". In 2011, the parliamentary Treasury Select Committee recommended: In October 2018, the then-chancellor Philip Hammond announced that the UK government would no longer use PFI; however, PFI projects will continue to operate for some time to come. In 2021, Robert Naylor warned ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
