Healthcare IT provider Ethitec has been awarded another contract to deliver its ELMS2 software solution to a Community Equipment Service (CES) in Scotland.

We are very pleased to announce that we have been awarded a contract by Inverclyde Council to implement ELMS2, following a detailed competitive tendering process. Through this process, Ethitec and the ELMS2 system were evaluated against the market in various areas including System functionality, Security standards, the quality of our Implementation services, our Data Migration services, and of course, our pricing. The Council’s project team also visited several other CES in the region as part of their evaluations.

Inverclyde is located in West Central Scotland covering an area of 61 square miles stretching along the south bank of the estuary of the River Clyde, with a population of just under 80,000 largely based around the main towns of Greenock, Port Glasgow and Gourock. The CES, which is based at the Inverclyde Centre for Independent Living in Greenock, provides equipment and adaptations to allow people to live safely and independently in their own homes.

ELMS2 is a comprehensive software solution that is widely used across the UK, supporting the efficient management of CES and other areas of NHS and Social Care supplies provision. Ethitec has always been proud of our track record of collaborating with CES across Scotland through the provision of ELMS2, and we continue to support a dedicated, long-standing, and well attended User Group for our Scottish Customers.

Ethitec are delighted to announce that the Northumberland Joint Equipment Loan Service (JELS) has recently gone live on the ELMS2 system. Hosted by the Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, JELS provide equipment to meet both social and health needs in the County from their Cramlington based stores. This vital service delivers many thousands of pieces of community equipment to people in Northumberland each year to help residents live independently at home, and facilitate their safe discharge from hospital. The equipment provided offers assistance to people in the community with their bathing, toileting, sleeping, walking and daily living needs, offering protection from accidents, and providing assistance to help with the carrying out of day to day tasks.

ELMS2 is a leading software solution that is widely used across the UK, supporting the efficient management of Community Equipment Services, Wheelchair Services, and other areas of NHS and Social Care supplies provision. The system provides functionality to manage the equipment ordering, distribution, maintenance, and recycling processes at JELS. As well as installing the ELMS2 software, Ethitec provided a range of professional services to JELS, including data migration, training, consultancy, and handholding, together with ongoing support and hosting.

Ethitec are excited to report more success for ELMS2 in the North West of England, with the news that Wigan Council have just gone live with their ELMS2 system.
