Joined Up Care Derbyshire has taken a major step towards providing an integrated care record for the county through a £7.2 million deal with Orion Health.
Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has acted as contracting authority for the partnership in an agreement for the company to develop a secure shared care record for everyone living in the county.
The move is aimed at promoting better joined up care between health and social bodies by giving care professionals appropriate access to an individual’s record.
It is expected to deliver a minimum viable solution by September of this year.
Joined Up Care Derbyshire said that further details will be made public over the coming months, and pointed to a precedent set in the development of the Dorset Shared Care Record.
