Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP) goes live with Single Sign On for Dorset Care Record

tonymcdougal

One of our local authority partners, Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP), has today introduced Single Sign On for staff accessing Dorset Care Record (DCR) information.

All current DCR users who have access to Mosaic (adult services system) have – since earlier this spring – been able to send demographic information as an electronic feed into the DCR.

Now, they will be able to go straight into the DCR system at a touch of a button. Launching DCR with user and person context will save professionals time, with one click getting to the relevant record. It will ensure that people will have a safe and slick journey through the service and will only have to “tell their story once”.

How Single Sign On can make a difference in an acute hospital setting

Respiratory consultant and general physician at Dorset County Hospital (DCH) William McConnell believes the Dorset Care Record will make a real difference for both healthcare professionals and patients.

Until now, Dr McConnell has felt frustrated by not having information at the touch of a button: “Unfortunately, we’re used to having to apologize to patients due to a lack of information that we have. Patients come expecting us to have all their records and are surprised when we say we don’t. This means that sometimes we don’t always have details, for example, of medications tried in the past.”

What’s in the DCR and what’s coming

The diagram shows the current feeds available in the Dorset Care Record and what is coming up in the next few weeks and months of 2020.

Latest developments include the successful integration of the collaborative worklists feed into the DCR. Collaborative Worklists enable a multidisciplinary approach to coordinated care. Patients, stratified by common characteristics, can be added to a list that is shared by one or more users – clinicians, administrators, case managers, or coordinators who have responsibility for reviewing, working and managing that patient population. Members of the team can view tasks associated with an individual patient or a list of tasks assigned to them across all patients they are engaging with. Collaborative worklists can improve care coordination across care teams.

We have also successfully configurated demographic feeds for local authorities, which will allow councils to submit their information into the DCR for the first time,  and Mosaic Single Sign On, which will allow trained staff a touch of a button to go straight into the DCR. At present, they have to move from one computer system to another.

Dorset Care Record: A Review of the Year and look ahead to 2020

Tackling issues such as information sharing and sensitive patients by bringing together an agreed common approach among Dorset Care Record partners has been one of the year’s highlights for programme manager Elizabeth McEleney.

Elizabeth feels that this clear approach has helped overcome obstacles and helped build a strong foundation and greater confidence to help deliver a range of additional functionality for the DCR.
