We have added a new navigational overview video for the Dorset Care Record, which will be useful for staff who have just joined the DCR or those who would like a reminder of what is in the system.
The 10-miute video provides a comprehensive tour of the test system, looking at data feeds from across our partners.

Pre-op assessment data and RMS e-docs have been added into the shared care record by Dorset County Hospital (DCH) this week.
The pre-of information will be useful for other services who may have booked in a patient for surgery to have a baseline of patient’s general health and anaesthetic risks.
The RMS information will provide users with information regarding negative mammograms. DCH also aims for this to be accessible to patients as well in our patient portal myDCR, so they can see their results at the earliest opportunity, without having to wait for the post.

As part of the Government’s response to the COVID pandemic a special notice (COPI) was put in place which meant that the training for the Dorset Care Record (DCR) wasn’t mandatory. This meant that we were able to welcome a significant number of additional users to the system in a very short space of time. The COPI notice expired earlier this year and, to try to ensure continuity of access, we have created a process to assure compliance with Information Governance or DCR mandatory training.

Delivery of efficiency savings along with benefits in patient experience, care and safety led the Dorset Care Record to be highly commended in the Health Tech Efficiency Savings of the Year award. Benefits found include the delivery of more than £2m in efficiency savings to its health and social care partners in 2021/2, with savings increasing over time as more data was added, making it easier for users to find information without logging into other systems or making enquiries.

One of Dorset HealthCare’s Project Support Officers, John Hutchence, has for the past 4 months been working on finding out what DHC users think of DCR and how to promote the system. In our latest blog, John highlights some of important feedback received and details what is being done to further promote the system.
DCR has been live for several years and statistics regarding use are regularly sent out to partner organisations. The number of trained users within DHC has risen to over 1000, but the number of active users each month has typically been around 20% of this figure. In mid-February a questionnaire was sent out to all trained users to find out more about how the Trust uses DCR, with a view to increase the figures.
