Leeds Teaching Hospitals takes huge savings in time and spends it on patient care

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT) is one of the largest in England with more than 2,000 beds across eight hospitals.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals takes huge savings in time and spends it on patient care

The two main hospitals are the Leeds General Infirmary and St James’ University Hospital with over 17,000 staff, 1.1 million out-patient appointments annually and delivering regional specialist care for up 5.4 million people.

Based on the need for greater efficiencies, improved patient safety and lower costs, LTHT decided to focus on standardising the way it captured data. As a result, LTHT implemented Scan4Safety, a programme designed to leverage GS1 standards and barcodes to track patients, products and locations. The benefits for both LTHT and its patients have been immense. From improvements in inventory to more time with patients, Leeds hospitals are taking an incredible journey as they scan for safety.
