The BSPED returns to Glasgow for the first time since 1992. We look forward to continuing discussions with our clients for GrowthXP and more generally with users of electronic growth charts in the UK.
Since that meeting in 1992 the IT landscape within the NHS has evolved significantly with the introduction of electronic patient records systems. Across the country hospitals have invested in a variety of systems, some including child growth charts. Anticipating this trend, PC PAL has been developing a comprehensive child growth and development solution, GrowthXP, which can be integrated with most patient record systems. The use of PC PAL’s products has grown and they are now operating in over 30% of the leading hospitals within Europe.
A recent report for the UK government (by Lord Darzi) identified several priorities for the public health system (NHS): improved productivity through technology was specifically highlighted. With a comprehensive suite of charts and calculations (many automated), including reference charts for over 50 rare disorders, GrowthXP can help improve the running of child growth clinics and reduce the need for dual working (using traditional paper and modern digital charts).
