Cambridge University Hospitals
Pioneers NHS Collaboration with
uPerform to Optimise EPR Education
Rede昀椀ning Cardiac Care in the Middle
East, KFSH&RC Successfully Performs
Five TPV Replacements
Cambridge University Hospitals selects uPerform to scale its Epic
education programme and further support pro昀椀ciency.
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH) based
in Cambridge, England, is rolling out an innovative learning platform
for its Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system, Epic®. It has selected
uPerform to support the onboarding and ongoing training experience
for caregivers, ensuring its hospital staff (Epic users) have the resources
needed to utilise the system to its fullest potential.
CUH is a family of hospitals, including Addenbrooke’s and The Rosie,
delivering expert care to over 4.5 million people locally, regionally and
nationally as part of England’s National Health Service (NHS). CUH was
the 昀椀rst NHS trust to implement Epic in the United Kingdom and the 昀椀rst
NHS trust to achieve HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7. With over 10,500 staff, CUH
was seeking innovative ways to scale its Epic education programme to
further support onboarding of new hires, continuous learning and skills
optimisation for existing staff and new training for Epic upgrades. CUH
selected uPerform to help caregivers become more pro昀椀cient in their
use of Epic by providing personalised, in-context Epic training materials
at the point of need.
uPerform will also work to support CUH’s Epic Thrive programme,
further empowering its dedicated doctors, nurses and healthcare
support staff with ongoing refresher and ef昀椀ciency training.
CUH is the 昀椀rst NHS trust to join over three dozen leading health
systems already using uPerform across the United States, the
Netherlands and Finland. “It is a true privilege to have gained CUH’s
trust in strengthening its Epic education programme, and we eagerly
anticipate many productive years of collaboration ahead,” expressed
Harm Mescher, Senior Vice President, Sales EMEA/APJ at uPerform.
“This project marks our initial stride in introducing uPerform’s
established successes and advantages to NHS trusts throughout the
United Kingdom.”
uPerform empowers healthcare providers to take their digital maturity
to the next level by providing clinicians with fast and simple access to
high quality EPR educational materials within the work昀氀ow, increasing
user pro昀椀ciency and satisfaction, while reducing burnout. Role-based,
in-application learning at the point of care improves onboarding,
reduces the time spent in the EPR system by reinforcing training, and
decreases time spent in training so clinicians can spend more time on
what matters most – their patients.

King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC) has
successfully performed 昀椀ve pulmonary valve replacements using the
advanced Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) procedure.
This innovative approach offers a viable alternative to open-heart
surgery, marking a signi昀椀cant advancement in cardiac care within
the region. It serves as a testament to the hospital’s commitment to
rede昀椀ning the overall patient experience by successfully minimizing
recovery periods and shortening hospital stays.
This procedure is novel in the Middle East, and it speci昀椀cally addresses
individuals with heart valve diseases and congenital heart defects,
which were previously untreatable through conventional catheterization
techniques. Typically, these patients had to undergo open-heart surgery,
entailing a prolonged recovery period of three months before returning
to regular activities. Notably with TPV, patients, aged between 12 and
34, were discharged within 48 hours.
This achievement is part of the ongoing efforts of KFSH&RC to provide
innovative healthcare solutions and emerge as a global hub for
specialized healthcare. This commitment to excellence encompasses
enhancing patient experiences and improving operational ef昀椀ciency in
line with Saudi Vision 2030’s Health Sector Transformation Program.
King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre is considered among
the most prominent in the world in providing tertiary healthcare, a
pioneer in innovation, and an advanced medical research and education
centre. It also seeks to develop medical technologies and raise health
care worldwide in partnership with prominent local, regional, and
international institutions. To achieve world-class service in the clinical,
research, and educational 昀椀elds.
