FAQ
What is the Shared Care Record solution?
The Better Shared Care Record is a comprehensive, longitudinal health record accessible across care settings. It unifies patient data from different systems, hospitals, GP practices, community services, mental health, and social care, into a single, coherent view for all authorised care providers.
Who uses the Shared Care Record by Better?
Regional and national health systems use Better Shared Care Record to enable integrated care, improve care continuity, and reduce unnecessary duplication of tests and procedures. Better has deployed shared care record infrastructure for NHS programmes, including the Universal Care Plan.
What are the benefits of a shared care record?
A shared care record enables better clinical decisions by giving clinicians a complete picture of the patient’s history, regardless of where care was delivered. It improves patient safety by surfacing allergies, medications, and prior diagnoses across organisational boundaries. It reduces duplicate testing and unnecessary procedures, and supports more coordinated, personalised care.
What is the difference between a shared care record and an EHR?
An EHR is typically a system used within a single organisation to record clinical activity. A shared care record is cross-organisational, it aggregates data from multiple EHRs, social care systems, and other sources into one longitudinal view accessible to all authorised providers across a region or network.
How does a shared care record support NHS Integrated Care Systems?
NHS Integrated Care Systems (ICS) require health and social care providers across a geography to share data and coordinate care. A shared care record provides the data infrastructure, giving every ICS provider a real-time, unified view of each patient regardless of which organisation recorded the data.
How is patient data kept secure in a shared care record?
Better Platform implements role-based and attribute-based access controls so clinicians only see data relevant to their role and the patient they are treating. All access is logged in a full audit trail. Data sharing is governed by information sharing agreements between participating organisations, and Better Platform enforces those agreements technically.
