Dan Lane , GP – Willingham By Stow Surgery

” The Lincolnshire Care Record is a vital tool for my day-to-day work in the practice. I can quickly find results of scans and X-rays which have been arranged by secondary care colleagues. For example; I have at least one patient who received a much faster diagnosis of lung cancer, due to me reviewing the report on a chest X-ray, which she had undertaken in A&E. Without the Lincolnshire Care Record, I would not have seen the report or been able to act on it as quickly. It saves my team hours of time chasing results and reports and enables me to give my patients the care they need much more efficiently. I would not be without it.”

“The Lincolnshire Care Record enables general practice teams to have visibility of patients’ information that might sit in different IT systems within the health service. We can check if a particular test ordered by another clinician has been reported or if the patient is already booked for an appointment in a speciality. Overall, this visibility and access to relevant data can help streamline care for patients and enable staff to plan care more effectively.”

Ozzy Ozturk – Practice Manager at The Heath Surgery

“The Lincolnshire Care Record enables the sharing of essential patient information across health and social care partners at speed, which reduces risk and helps facilitate making better informed clinical decisions.”
