Snapshot Report – Medical Records and Digital Maturity

Despite widespread digital adoption, the NHS spent over £230 million on physical medical records last year. Our new report, based on 2023/24 ERIC data, uncovers why.

We analysed spending patterns across acute trusts, compare them to Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA) scores, and reveal the inefficiencies that remain in records management.

 

In this snapshot report, discover:

  • Acute trust spend on on-site vs off-site storage
  • How much the Top Ten Spenders spent on medical records and what they have in common
  • The relationship between DMA Scores and Medical Record Spend
  • The six trusts still entirely reliant on paper records
