Welcome to our latest stakeholder update about progress of the Dorset Care record and our new patient portal, myDCR.
1 Additional information in our shared care record
Adult alerts from Dorset Council are being added shortly to the Dorset Care Record. The new feed will allow GPs to know whether adult social care is involved with a specific patient and in what circumstance, based upon the alert that is now available in the system. Sharing this type of information can also enable early interventions to prevent the escalation of risk, coordinate effective and efficient response across our health and social care partnership and prevent abuse and harm that may increase the need for care and support.
We have also added a number of new document types to DCR from Dorchester County Hospital (DCH) – these include documents from Maternity, Cancer MDT and very recently pre-op assessments.
2 Ringwood medical practice supplying patient information
Clinicians and social care staff can now access GP data though our shared care record from the Ringwood Medical Practice in Hampshire. The GP practice, part of the Avon Valley Primary Care Network, is the first cross-border surgery to provide this information. To find out more about cross-border work with GP practices go to Ringwood Medical Practice supplies patient information to the Dorset Care Record – Dorset Care Record (dorsetcouncil.gov.uk)
We are working with other non-Dorset GP practices and hope to have more information soon. Continue reading “Dorset Care Record Stakeholder Update – November 2022” →
