Excellent post. It's hard to sell technology change into broken organisations. Even harder to implement. Alcidion face the same issues as their competitors but with at least two advantages - they can apply the most critically-needed modules first (their modular approach) and they can leverage old technology. Their USP according to Kate. Having a PAS (Silverlink) extended ALC's reach to 11 more NHS trusts. The notion that it would be integrated and new trusts buying it within 12 months I think underestimates the length of time needed to integrate software and go through any NHS tender process. Also there's a school of thought that says when implementing a full EPR, do the PAS last. But ALC can now at least bid for a full EPR and did so with Southampton. COVID and NHS crisis - definitely not been easy for any long term holder, but I'm confident tin the company, just the long-term keeps getting longer .
