Changing the way we access your health and care records.
Ever wondered why, when you visit your GP or hospital, they can’t see all your health and care information?
And why you find yourself having to answer the same old questions over and over – about things like the medicines you take, the treatment you’ve had, and whether you have any allergies?
The simple answer is they all use different computer systems to record your details. And because these systems aren’t connected, the health and care organisations looking after you can’t see the information each other holds on you.
But that’s now changing with the introduction of the Lincolnshire Care Portal, also known as a Shared Care Record.
Our experience of working with COVID-19 has shown how important it is for the health and social work professionals caring for a person to be able to see their information without delay when needed. The Lincolnshire Care Portal will make a joined-up approach to health and care much more possible. Find more information below.
