Introduction to Acute Care Software – Cellma

Acute care settings are a vital part of any health system, as they deal with urgent and emergency cases where time and accuracy are crucial. Across the NHS, or any health system, hospitals are under significant pressure due to increased demand, complex patient typologies and conditions, and limited resources. Acute care software is now vital to ensure patient safety and effective workflows, patient flow, and movement between hospitals, A&E, and elective patient recovery.  
 
Cellma, an acute care EMR software, is built to address both NHS priorities and international healthcare challenges as a comprehensive acute care EPR. It supports the full acute pathway with real-time patient flow management, secure clinical communication, and interoperability with NHS systems and standards. Aligned with the NHS 10 Year Plan’s drive for digital-first, integrated care, Cellma enables hospitals to modernise services, strengthen connectivity, and make data-driven decisions. The result is resilient acute care that improves patient outcomes while reducing pressure on clinical teams.
