“Achieving an Integrated Digital Care Record” (July 2013)

Drivers for change

“Today’s care and support system often fails to live up to the expectations of those who rely on it. Whilst many do have good experiences, the system canoften be confusing, disempowering and not flexible enoughto fit around individuals’ lives.”

“Our vision is for a fully integrated digital patient record across all care settings by 2018 and that can only be realised when NHS providers are connected to the flow of information. “

“The Care Bill” and “Caring for our future: reforming care and support (July 2012)”

“Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.” ― Edmund Burke
