Enhancing Clinical Decision-Making with MedWise
The objective of the MedWise platform is to provide clinicians at Alder Hey Hospital with a unified, efficient tool for accessing both local and national best practice guidelines at the point of care. The platform aims to streamline the search for critical information, ensuring clinicians have quick access to the most relevant guidelines, thus improving both decision-making and patient outcomes.
The Challenge of Fragmented Guideline Access
Clinicians at Alder Hey currently lack a single, integrated platform that offers seamless access to local and national guidelines. Searching for this information is often time-consuming, inefficient, and fragmented, making it challenging to stay up-to-date with best practices, especially during busy clinical activities.

MedWise addresses this issue by creating a unified search platform that enables clinicians to easily and quickly access local and national guidelines. Key features of the solution include:
- Quick Search Functionality: Provides clinicians with an efficient, professional search that is tailored to their specific clinical context.
- Centralised Information: Offers seamless access to both national and local guidelines, making it easier to find relevant protocols and practices.
- Context-Sensitive Results: Delivers targeted information based on the clinician’s specific needs at the point of care, improving decision-making and efficiency.
Key Benefits:
- Time Savings: Clinicians can quickly find the information they need without navigating multiple sources or platforms, reducing time spent on searches and enabling more time for patient care.
- Improved Accessibility: A centralised platform increases the accessibility of both local and national guidelines, improving adherence and ensuring consistency in clinical practice.
- Better Adoption of Local Guidelines: By integrating local guidelines into a widely adopted platform, MedWise encourages clinicians to utilise and adhere to locally tailored best practices.
