Adult alerts from Dorset Council have been added to the Dorset Care Record (DCR) from today.

Demographics feed from Dorset Council adults services in the DCR

Dorset Council has this week become the first local authority to send demographic information as an electronic feed into the Dorset Care Record (DCR)

For the first time, information from the adults Mosaic system will feed in to the DCR, marking a major technical and organisational milestone for the health and social care record.

It will mean that local authority staff will be able to put their local case number in to the DCR rather than an NHS number to find their client and have access to personal emergency contacts.

Staff who have completed the mandatory training will also be able to , from Monday (9 March), through Single Sign On, go straight from the Mosaic system in to the DCR at a touch of a tab.

Launching DCR with user and person context will safe professionals time with one click getting to the relevant record.

These additions will ensure that people will have a safe and slick journey through the service and will only have to “tell their story once.”
