WINNER: Implementation of AutoPlanner within district nursing: Newton Europe, The Phoenix Partnership, Leicestershire Health Informatics Service and Leicestershire Partnership Trust 

District nursing staff are a scarce and valuable resource; this project changed how they were deployed to reduce the time spent on paperwork rather than seeing patients and improve their working lives. A review of community health services in Leicestershire carried out by Newton Europe in 2016 suggested that only just over a quarter of time in district nursing was spent with patients with 36 per cent spent on data entry and travelling.

Part of the solution to this was to use a planning tool within the existing electronic patient record which would enhance patient safety through allocating visits and reducing the need to enter patient data into a separate programme.
