Lorenzo patient record systems

Lorenzo patient record systems are a type of Electronic health record provided by CSC, originally as part of the United Kingdom government’s National Programme for IT (NHS Connecting for Health) in the NHS.

There is a long history of negotiations between the NHS and the company.

On 4 September 2012, the UK Department of Health announced that whilst it was "dismantling" the National Programme for IT, Lorenzo would be supplied under a new legally binding agreement with CSC.

University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust was the first to deploy the technology. It implemented electronic patient record system Lorenzo Release 1.9 in June 2010.

Humber NHS Foundation Trust was the first mental health organisation to use the CSC Lorenzo patient record systems in June 2012.

Lorenzo systems are being introduced to Warrington & Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust during 2015.

In June 2015, a Digital Health Intelligence article stated that Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust and Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust had gone live with Lorenzo. In July 2015, Digital Health Intelligence reported CSC as stating that 19 NHS Trusts had contracted to take the Lorenzo system.

George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust,Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust,Tameside Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust are also implementing Lorenzo under a financial support package which has been described as controversial.

In June 2013 senior executives from the NHS were called before the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee, where chair Margaret Hodge called CSC a “rotten company” and said the Lorenzo system was “hopeless”.
