About myCareCentric Personal Health Record system
Available on desktop or mobile, the PHR provides easy to use, secure access for an individual to their shared care record data. This is complemented by localised and intuitive signposting to relevant care and wellbeing services and embedded third-party content, for example, NHS Health A-Z.
Individuals can also use myCareCentric to enter information and share it with their care teams, for example, ‘About Me’ details, Emergency Information and Contacts. Data from wearables and other, specialist third-party Apps can also be integrated and enabled on request. Data is shared in real-time with care professionals enabling them to not only monitor and manage progress, but also support personalised care planning based around the individual’s needs.
Used to its full effect, myCareCentric helps ensure that individuals are more involved in the care they are receiving; supports care teams to better engage with their patients; improves the quality of the integrated care record, all of which contribute to better overall outcomes.
