Digitising Social Care

  4. Digitising Social Care

High quality care relies on high quality information, such as information about an individual’s likes, their care needs, and the care they have received. If you are still using a paper-based system, it means that your carers and clinicians don’t have access to the information that they need at the time they need it. This places a significant administrative burden on them, taking away valuable time that could be spent delivering care.

Over the last two years, Partners in Care have been involved in a successful Digital Transformation Project, led by Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin ICS, Shropshire Council and Telford & Wrekin Council, which supported many care providers in the selection, purchase, and implementation of Digital Social Care Records (DSCR) systems. Although funding is no longer available within Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin, care providers can still access, purchase and implement a DSCR from the assured suppliers list.

Assured Suppliers List 

A Digital Social Care Record (DSCR) allows the digital recording of care information and care received by an individual, within a social care setting, replacing traditional paper records. DSCRs are person-centred and enable information to be shared securely and in real-time with authorised individuals across the health and care sector.

The Digitising Social Care Records Programme is aiming for all CQC-registered adult social care providers to have access to a digital social care record that can interoperate with a local Shared Care Record by 2024. These records will play an important role in joining up care across social care and the NHS, freeing up time spent by care workers and managers on administrative tasks whilst equipping them with the information they need to deliver care. They are the platform on which other remote care tools can integrate and can enable the greater personalisation of care planning that focuses on the individual.

The assured supplier list enables quicker, easier, and more informed purchasing processes for social care providers and other organisations. It is managed by the NHS Transformation Directorate, who provide expert advice and guidance to social care providers. The assured supplier list was commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care.
