The Greater Manchester Care Record story
28 April 2021
Health and social care organisations in Greater Manchester have established the GM Care Record (GMCR), a shared care record which amalgamates essential information for 2.8 million citizens and is used by 10,500 health and social care professionals every month for direct care across the region’s 10 localities.
The GMCR was a massive programme delivered at speed, which is now playing a crucial role in the region’s fight against Covid-19. It is a partnership between the GM Health and Social Care Partnership, the 10 GM localities, Health Innovation Manchester and technology provider, Graphnet.
This digital enabler is seen as a priority in the regional provision of care. Graphnet’s CareCentric shared care record software collates information from and provides information to over 500 health and social care organisations.
