Oracle expands archive storage for Primary Care Trust

10 December 2010

Oracle Storage Systems have expanded the archive storage capacity for the Sussex PCTs' Medical Records Department.

The trusts' Medical Records Department was facing a problem as patient records were housed in a number of off-site buildings. Improved access to case files was needed to ensure a first class service to patients and enable medical professionals to provide quality care and to reduce administration costs.

The solution was to centralise the trusts' medical records in a single location. The Trust already owned an industrial warehouse which housed some medical records. When a connecting warehouse became vacant it was acquired so that records from off-site storage areas could be consolidated. The trust wanted to achieve as much shelving capacity as possible to meet current levels and to accomodate future expansion.

Oracles' Mistral adjustable shelving, mounted onto a Möbilis mobile base system had previously been installed into the first warehouse and so this system was the obvious choice. The contract was installed in two phases. 3120 linear metres of shelving in phase one and a further 1560 linear metres in phase two. In all 585 bays of shelving.

An important element of this particular system is the finish. All surfaces are coated with Activecoat, a hard wearing, anti-bacterial epoxy-powder paint that reduces the danger of MRSA, E-Coli and Bacteria by 99.9% and will continue to work for the life of the coating.
