e-MDS does this simply and effectively. It issues alerts to pre-determined users on incidents across all your units, thus enabling compliance with your internal review processes and external reporting obligations.

– MH care Provider (46 bed Low Secure)
We are a rapidly growing business and needed a Service User record and Business Intelligence system that is flexible and can grow at our pace. With e-MDS we have exactly found that. New acquisitions can immediately be integrated using our standard templates and are given system access overnight. From the first day, the management can monitor data quality and compliance across the entire organisation.
– LD Care Provider – South East
We have now used e-MDS without any modifications for over 4 years and have never had any problems. The great thing is that Solstice often contacts us to inform us of new reporting requirements and to advise us that the system can already produce the report on the push of a button. One less headache for us.
MH Care Provider – North-East.
We initially bought e-MDS to produce the MHMDS (now MHSDS). The beauty is that the tool performs all the coding, whilst Solstice always ensures that latest NHS templates are loaded and automatically populated. We have now rolled e-MDS out across our entire organisation and use it for all our outcome reporting and incident, accident & complaints monitoring. It does everything we need to run an efficient and transparent operation, whilst meeting our legal obligations
– MH Care provider (140 beds) – UK Wide
All our staff find the system very easy to use and it has all the functionality we need to monitor the care provided to our Service Users. In fact we are often still happily surprised to discover additional reports we can generate in-house to spot trends and early alerts across our units. If e-MDS doesn’t already capture the required data, all it takes is often one phone call to Solstice and after some testing, within the shortest possible time a field or entire form has been added and available for real-time data capture
