Why CellmaEHR is the Emergency Department EHR You Need

Urgent and emergency care in England is under immense pressure. In March 2025 alone, 2,389,064 patients attended A&E, with an average of 77,067 daily attendances, a 3.6% rise from February. Yet only 75% of patients were admitted, transferred, or discharged within four hours, well below the NHS constitutional standard of 95%. Ambulance response times, overcrowding, and delayed diagnostics continue to challenge both clinicians and patients in already stretched emergency departments. 

In this landscape, a robust emergency department EHR is not a luxury but a necessity. CellmaEHR is designed to support the NHS in delivering urgent and emergency care that is faster, safer, and more coordinated. Aligned with the NHS Long Term Plan and the NHS 10-Year Plan, Cellma provides hospitals with a future-ready digital infrastructure that strengthens clinical decision-making, supports patient flow, and improves outcomes while reducing waiting times.

Urgent Care Scenarios and Cellma’s Support 

Managing Complexity in Emergency Care

Situations in emergency departments are unique as they are inherently complex as staff manage individuals presenting a range of urgent concerns, from cardiac emergencies, respiratory conditions, neurological issues, sepsis, trauma, and metabolic responses, to name a few. Every single patient in the emergency department needs staff to act quickly, assess skilfully, and collaborate with their colleagues. 
 
Cellma, an emergency department EHR provides physicians with access to useful digital tools to support the management of these complex situations: 
 
Triage Integration: Automatic notifications when alerts are identified, set up for exploring potential delays in action based on high-risk symptoms, such as chest pain, if stroke/travel signs, sepsis red flags, abnormal vital signs. 
 
Lab Management Module: Rapid ordering and tracking of the required diagnostics and their results (cardiac markers, ABG, glucose, infection markers) with results feeding directly into the EPR. 
 
Clinical Decision Support: Clinical pathways, care pathways embedded to manage sepsis, STEMI, stroke, DKA, COPD exacerbations, trauma and mental health crisis – receive automatic alerts for abnormal results easy access to support action as specified in nationally agreed guidelines. 
 
Integration of Imaging & Diagnostics: Instant referencing of X-rays, CTs, MRIs, ultrasounds, and ECG results for minimal diagnostic delay. 
 
Integration of Communication Tools: Referrals for cardiologist, neurologist, orthopaedic, psychiatrist and community services, to provide improved patient coordination. 
 
Integration of Patient Education & Discharge Planning: Fully integrated digital education and discharge summaries are sent direct to patients and GPs to assist in reducing re-attendance.
