Nourish Care has extended access to its GP Connect platform to non-clinical staff.
The introduction of GP Connect: Access Record to the care management platform will allow filtered access by non-clinical staff, a move Nourish says will ‘support health and social care providers to deliver the most safe and effective care’.
The filtered view will allow non-clinical staff limited access to data such as allergies, medications, and immunisations. Staff will also be able to view the last three encounters with a GP. The extension of the Nourish platform is in line with the NHS aim to refine the way data is shared across care settings and to bridge the gap between primary and social care services.
Nuno Almeida, Founder and CEO of Nourish Care said: “The introduction of GP Connect is a huge step towards delivering interoperability and establishing a connected care environment within health and social care. Nourish customers will be able to review relevant and timely medical notes for people they support, leading to better continuity of care, resulting in safer, improved outcomes. I look forward to seeing the positive impact this delivers for care teams and those they support.”
The NHS Transformation Directorate has set strict guidelines to safeguard the information being shared via GP Connect, requiring care providers to complete their Data Security Protection Toolkit self-assessment (DSPT) to ensure they meet the required standards.
