Outcomes

For a Health or Care Professional:

View a complete and up to date Unified Care Record for a Patient/Service User with health and care information gathered from different systems from a variety of health and care settings into a single record. Enables them to assess and treat the Patient/Service User more safely and effectively and can enable more integrated care across organisational boundaries through access to a common and shared view of the Patient/Service User's health and care information.
