GP Connect

What is GP Connect?

GP Connect is a service that enables authorised care professionals to quickly and efficiently share and view GP records and medical notes of the residents they care for in real-time.

How does GP Connect work with our Digital Care System?

Our GP Connect integration consumes data directly from multiple GP systems, connecting care homes and GPs.

Examples of the type of information made available through the GP Connect service:

Encounters – e.g. hospital visits
Active problems and issues – e.g. diagnosis
Allergies and adverse reactions
Acute and repeat medication
Referrals
Observations – e.g. pulse, oxygen saturation
Immunisations

The key benefits of the integration with GP Connect is that our nurses now have access to real time information as well as a clear picture of historic care for our residents. The vast amount of time saved by having instantaneous accessibility is beneficial for not only our nurses but for GPs too as we no longer need to call GPs for updates or information.

What is needed to access GP Connect?

The GP Connect view can only be used to access data for residents under your direct care

We feel extremely privileged to be amongst the first to use the integration and the feedback we’ve received from nursing staff so far has been brilliant. By logging into the system, staff can now see all relevant medical records related to residents and without having to chase individual GP surgeries.

The time-saving benefits to our staff are going to be huge, and the system will also improve our knowledge base of the individuals we care for. We’re thrilled to be one of the first care homes in the country to use the integration and we look forward to it becoming part of our everyday lives.
