Wales
Access to Map of Medicine is no longer available across Wales following the expiry on March 31st 2011 of the contract between Map of Medicine and NHS Wales Informatics Service.
Although we understand the difficult choices that have to be made by national organisations, the expiry comes at a time when the Map is set to release more cost-saving information, more care maps focussing on high-priority clinical areas, and the functionality for you to depict multiple settings in your local care maps, including social care and self-care.
While there will no longer be Wales-wide access to the Map, it can be reinstated for Local Health Boards through direct procurement. If you would like to understand how this works, and how the Map can help your organisation to redesign services to meet the challenges facing the NHS, please contact us on enquiries@mapofmedicine.com.
Localised care maps can be used to drive and sustain savings of up to £2bn, as a number of studies have shown. Map of Medicine’s care maps have been embraced by a number of your colleagues across the NHS to meet the productivity challenge, as well as to achieve better clinical outcomes and patient experience.
We will continue to work with healthcare communities across the NHS to help them meet their clinical and productivity challenges. If you would like to understand the work we continue to do and how to reinstate your access to the Map, please contact us on the above email address.
