The Kent and Medway Care Record (KMCR) provides healthcare professionals with a joined-up view of an individual's care and treatment from multiple health providers.
It contains automated, regular data feeds from acute hospital trusts, community services providers, mental health providers, GP practices and social care teams based in local authorities.
The KMCR contains automated, regular data feeds from acute hospital trusts, community services providers, mental health providers, GP practices and social care teams based in local authorities.
This more detailed and timely information will allow faster clinical decisions to be made, improve communications between referrers and service providers and improve continuity of care.
The KMRC shares important information about the citizen's health and care including:
The KMCR means citizens won't have to keep repeating their medical history to each professional in different organisations, care plans will be followed consistently and clinicians will be better equipped to identify patterns and plan care more effectively to meet the individuals' needs.
The amount of data the KMCR holds is increasing all the time. Data is constantly being added so a combined record can be developed to help better decision making and more informed care and treatment. This allows continuity of care across different care settings and alternatives such as digital support can be put in place.
The KMCR is commissioned by a collaborative of NHS Kent and Medway, Kent County Council and Medway Council. The KMCR helps health and social care providers make better decisions for the people in their care.
