Talented artist Alex May has produced a Dorset Care Record (DCR) illustration helping tell our story in a visual way.
Alex, who works for Dorset Council has produced a number of illustration across various local authority disciples but more recently has been concentrating on the council’s digital offering.
The DCR PMO approached him to see if he could produce a DCR illustration that could be used by communications leads to help highlight to partners the benefits of using the DCR.
Alex was briefed initially by our communications lead Tony McDougal and then came to listen to the thoughts of the PMO during one of our team meetings. We encouraged PMO members to say what resonated with them most about the DCR and it led to some of the images captured here.
We were keen to get across the idea of feeds coming into the DCR but also the two way nature of the partnership – that the partnership was not just acute health, but social workers and pharmacists and GPs
Alex has captured the myDCR (public portal) element too and the power of ownership – the innovative digital nature of the project, the strong relationships needed for this to succeed, the benefits of only having to tell your story once, the partnership work and the importance that this information is secure.
