The Shared Care Records Factsheet highlights how integrated digital records across health and social care systems enhance secure data sharing, reduce duplication, and provide healthcare professionals with real-time access to accurate information.

Enhancing Care Through Connectivity

This improved connectivity supports more efficient workflows, better-informed clinical decisions, and the delivery of safer, more coordinated and person-centred care. It also empowers teams to work collaboratively, streamlines transitions between services and minimises administrative burdens.

Supporting Better Outcomes & Patient Involvement

By ensuring that vital information follows individuals throughout their care journey, regardless of the setting, Shared Care Records contribute to faster diagnoses, fewer delays, and improved outcomes. Furthermore, individuals can be more actively involved in their care, with increased transparency and confidence that their needs are understood and consistently met.
