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.
Andy Cowling, DCR head of service, said: “I was really pleased to see the team’s efforts recognised for their work on benefits. It has taken them a huge effort to get the programme to a place where we can confidently state we are delivering over £2m a year and growing!”
The DCR team, working with Orion Health, was pipped for the top honours by Lantum, which unites clinicians and employers on one platform to deliver the best patient care. It has 19 ICSs and over 300 PCNs and one in two practices use Lantum to transform workforce management.
