New electronic record sharing system for patients will be launched in Dorset
9 hrs ago / Tara Russell
A £7m electronic record sharing system is set to benefit patients across Dorset.
The Dorset Care Record (DCR) will bring together information from hospitals, GPs, community teams and local councils, enabling details of a person's medical or care history - and their needs - to be summarised in the same place.
The DCR, provided by global healthcare company Orion Health and led by Dorset County Council, will be delivered through a secure computer network with an ‘opt-out’ function for patients who do not wish to be included.
Health bosses say it will be rolled out from the autumn with the first phase including basic information from GP, acute hospital and community systems covering admission and discharge dates, appointments and alerts.
Part of the £7.8m five year contract has come from the NHS England Integrated Digital Care Fund with additional funding from partner organisations.
Health and social care organisations have been calling for the establishment of an electronic record for a number of years and there is national guidance that states the NHS should have electronic records by 2020.
It is supported by the organisations across the county including NHS Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Dorset County Hospital, Poole Hospital, the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals and Dorset HealthCare, as well as Dorset County Council, Bournemouth Borough Council and the Borough of Poole.
Dorset County Council's chief executive Debbie Ward and Phil Richardson, director of design and transformation at NHS Clinical Commissioning Group say the DCR will deliver a better joined up service.
Mr Richardson said: "Sharing appropriate information electronically to a single place will offer direct access for authorised health and social care professionals to provide as full a picture as possible of people's history, needs, support and service contacts."
Mrs Ward added: "The DCR represents a really exciting approach to digital engagement with people across the county and is a key element of our wider 'Sustainability and Transformation Plan' to improve the treatment of people's health and reduce inequalities. It will make more efficient use of public money and in time, the DCR will offer people access to view and contribute to their own record."
The records will bring together a range of information, including health problems and diagnoses, prescribed drugs, blood tests and e-ray results, hospital discharge letters and agreed care plans.
There is a long-term plan to extend the system to share data with other health and care organisations, which meet the information sharing security criteria, such as hospices and neighbouring NHS facilities.

The care.data project has now been shut down by the Department of Health.
You can find out about all of the NHS Databases, secondary uses projects, and other NHS data sharing schemes, via www.nhsdatasharing.info
care.data will be back, in one form or another, so this site will remain available (though no longer updated) for reference purposes.
You can find out about care.data at www.caredata.website
If you want to opt-out of care.data and secondary uses only, then follow the instructions below.
If you want to opt-out of all of the NHS Databases, then download this single form and use it instead.
You can find out about all of the NHS Databases, and other NHS data sharing schemes, via www.nhsdatasharing.info
First, download an opt-form:
Fill the form in, and either :
The two opt-codes (9Nu0 and 9Nu4) will be added to your GP record by your surgery.
Remember to opt-out your children, or those for whom you have parental responsibility, as well.
Your children's medical records will be uploaded too unless you opt them out.
Please:
With both the 9Nu0 and the 9Nu4 opt-outs in force:
The secondary uses (9Nu0) opt-out will ensure that no identifiable information about you will be extracted or uploaded - to anyone, not just the HSCIC- without your express consent, for secondary uses, both now and in the future.
That includes care.data, risk stratification, the national audits and identifiable GPES extractions - all purposes that are unrelated to the provision of your direct medical care.
In addition, the 9Nu0 opt-out will also prohibit de-identified information about you concerning any eMed3 Statement of Fitness to Work reports (i.e. sick notes) being uploaded to the HSCIC and subsequently passed to the Department of Work and Pensions.
Be reassured - opting out of care.data and all other secondary uses will in no way affect how healthcare professionals provide you with direct medical care.
care.data and other secondary uses are not about information sharing between healthcare professionals.
The 9Nu0 secondary uses opt-out is a very useful flag to request your GP to add to your surgery record. For many of the secondary uses schemes:
The 9Nu0 code has an immediate effect in preventing confidential information from your GP record from being uploaded to the HSCIC or used for secondary purposes.
The 9Nu4 code will prevent the HSCIC from releasing or sell any information that it holds, and that clearly identifies you.
