Substance Misuse Services Information Shown in the DCR
On Wednesday 28th February 2024 we implemented a new set of feeds into the DCR relating to engagement with substance misuse services.
The feeds originate from the HALO caseload management system, used by community substance misuse services in Dorset, and currently include:-
Demographics
Demographic data from HALO will include other known addresses and a HALO unique identifier (HALO ID), which will be visible in the DCR alongside other local identifiers.
Referrals
Referral data will provide information on the referral source into substance misuse services, length and outcome of treatment, plus discharge information including the reason for discharge.
Encounters
Encounter data will show past and upcoming appointments with substance misuse services, including the outcome of each appointment.
This is the first phase of substance misuse data populating the DCR and over the coming months we are expecting to add:-
Alert data
Prescribing information relating to opiate substitute therapy (OST)
Relationship data
We would value your feedback on this new information – please contact dorsetcarerecord@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk to send feedback.
