A SEAMLESS SHARED RECORD SYSTEM
ACROSS ALL HEALTH & CARE SETTINGS
It’s fantastic for
us on the admissions
unit. We used to request
GP faxes from surgeries
to obtain medical
histories and we had
to wait for the faxes to
come through, which
delayed our work and
supply of patient’s
medication

Gives GP notes to Medway users. Hospital
clinicians can see a patient’s primary care history
from within the hospital record. This includes
demographics, diagnoses, treatments, medications,
allergies, results, disease registers, co-morbidities and
family history.
Puts the hospital data onto the GP’s desktop.
GPs can view hospital records for the patient they are
consulting without having to load a new system. This
includes demographics, referrals, attendances (inpatient/
outpatient, A&E), waiting lists, medications, alerts,
allergies, pathology results and radiology reports.

Medway CareCentricTM is a version of the
CareCentric shared care record software from
Graphnet Health, developed specifically for users of
the Medway EPR and embedded within the heart of
Medway. Medway CareCentric gives Medway users
immediate access to a wider integrated digital shared
care record. It:
In addition, the system is easily expandable. It can
be extended to bring in other data sources and create
a local shared care record including acute, mentalhealth, primary care, community and social care data.
Extensive links between health and social care
allow clinicians to look at the care allocated to a
patient in their home prior to discharge.
Medway CareCentric can also be used as a single
source of shared data where clinicians are operating
services across multiple Trusts. So for example,
clinicians seeing a patient as an outpatient in one
Trust and operating on that patient in another will be
able to see records from both Trusts.
Because of the close integration between Medway and
CareCentric, acute clinicians can call up a patient’s
details from within Medway, without having to log in
again, remember new passwords, or consult an index.
The easier and faster a shared care record software is
to use, the more information is entered into it, and the
richer and more useful the record becomes.

This is something
the clinicians have wanted
for some considerable
time. You just click on the
CareCentric Embedded
button in the portal and
‘bang’ - you’ve suddenly
got the GP in the room
with you….It gives
clinicians assurance and
back-up. By bringing
together GP, community,
and acute data they
get a much more
complete picture of
their patient’s needs

The new electronic
record allows appropriate
colleagues to find the
patient’s story without
them having to tell it
all over again, either
when they are in
crisis, or for a simple
enquiry. Colleagues can

and events easily and

Some of the Benefits
Using Medway and CareCentric, a Trust can reduce
admissions from A&E and bring down A&E
waiting times. This is due to the availability of critical
information at the point of care. Patients who are
admitted can be treated more quickly in A&E with
reduced risk as the shared record is able to provide
medication and treatment history.
Reducing re-admissions. More integrated discharge
management and better information availability
for community staff means re-admissions may be
reduced, with an impact on 30-day targets.
An Out of Hours GP service is able to access details
of recent hospital treatment as well as GP notes, so
they are able to treat a patient appropriately at home
rather than admitting to A&E or asking the patient’s
GP to provide a follow-up visit.
Reduction in phone calls and copying. Shared
records mean that staff in primary and secondary care
no longer need to spend time copying records and
dealing with telephone enquiries for patients needing
treatment elsewhere.
The shared care record can be used to coordinate
working across disciplines and agencies for
anticipatory and end of life care planning. The
patient’s wishes can be made known to all care
providers and ambulance staff.
The shared care record is ideal for multi-agency
and multi-disciplinary care pathways for long term
conditions, such as dementia, diabetes, asthma,
and COPD. Assessment and data collection forms and
work-lists can be set up, with alerts and baton-passing
to ensure that checks and tasks are not missed.
Improved medications management. The
availability of medication history across care settings
supports faster and safer clinical decisions.
Improved patient safety. Decisions are made more
quickly, backed up by up-to-date information on
medications, tests, and treatment across all care settings.
Eradication of paper. Shared information leads
to a reduction in printing and paperwork. This
cuts time printing and transporting paper, and cuts
telephone costs.

How does it work?
Medway CareCentric is based on the CareCentric
shared care solution from Graphnet Health.
CareCentric is a datastore custom-designed for
healthcare, built for maximum performance, and
created with clinical logic to ensure data integrity
and context. CareCentric solves the problems
created by multiple information silos by bringing
information together into one place, and making this
data available for viewing. It is a powerful, robust,
and proven foundation for sharing healthcare data,
preserving data security, but bringing valuable care
information to the people who need it.
Building the Medway CareCentric Shared Record
Medway CareCentric is an out of the box shared care
record solution tailored for Medway users. It has been
specially preconfigured to accept data from Medway
PAS and clinical applications and to present that data
to GPs and other care workers. It has also been fully
integrated within Medway so that Medway users can
look up GP data for the patient they are currently
looking at without having to log in to a separate
system or reselect the patient record. It has also been
preconfigured to take data from GP systems such as
EMIS Web and InPS Vision.
Other health and social care systems can be added
by connecting them using CareCentric’s standard
interface formats. There are a range of standard
connectors available including RiO and the
Liquidlogic adult and children’s systems.
CareCentric GatewayTM then presents users with a
unified view of the data. It is a web portal, which acts
as the gateway to the single care record, allowing
multidisciplinary teams from single Trusts or multiple
care settings to work together to deliver a coherent
service to patients. VISIT: WWW.SYSTEMC.COM OR CALL: 01622 691 616
