CliniWorks’ AccelFind software will be interfaced to Southampton’s clinical systems to extract and de-identify information about cancers and other diseases, and heart and blood conditions from one million records.
The software will also collect and structure information on treatments, medications, diagnoses and outcomes into a format that supports research and clinical trials.
Southampton chief information officer Adrian Byrne said the company can work with iSOFT to ensure that more patients obtain access to the latest and best treatments.
iSOFT chief medical officer Michael Dahlweid said the project paves the way for healthcare organisations to move beyond collecting data for use during patient care.
