Our 100th user – Jonathan Williams, Dorset County Council Continuing Healthcare Advisor
Dorset County Council Continuing Healthcare Advisor Jonathan Williams is the 100th health and social care professional to complete the training for the Dorset Care Record, including the mandatory modules around consent and security.
Mr Williams, who joined six months ago from neighbouring Somerset County Council, is involved in improving how health and social care work together for people across the county.
Speaking about how the DCR will make a difference, he further said: ‘The DCR will ensure people get the right support at the right time. This should really help to ensure that people – particularly those with intense, complex and unpredictable health needs – get the help that’s needed.
‘It should make decision making far more straightforward as we will be able to discern each circumstance more easily across records, particularly where people are applying for CHC (Continuing Health Care).
‘The DCR is extremely important as it will reduce duplication of efforts and make sure the right information is seen by the right people at the right time.’
