The NHS wants to improve the safety and quality of patient care. The availability of the Summary Care Record can provide benefits to both staff and patients by giving healthcare staff faster, easier access to reliable information so they can provide more effective treatment to patients.
The summary care record is a secure electronic record of patients’ vital health information. It means important information can be shared between healthcare staff and is at hand during treatment.
Summary care records greatly increase effective access to patient information and ensure that medical professionals have details of patients’ essential medical history in the event of an emergency.
