Somerset Partnership NHS & Social Care Trust and Somerset Social Services to benefit from local Integrated Care Record

After nearly 2 years of successful implementation of RiO at Somerset Partnership NHS & Social Care Trust, CSE Servelec is about to deliver an exciting new development to enable the Trust and other care organisations in Somerset to share key information.

Somerset will have a local, shared Care Record, which will allow Mental Health, Social Care and eventually Primary Care and Education to integrate their information. This will complement RiO’s existing functionality for unifying into a single process, the planning for mental health and social care within the Trust.

The standard of care at the Trust is constantly being improved by the ways in which RiO manages, stores and allows access to information. Records are instantly accessible at the point of care, enabling Health & Care professionals to be supported in making informed decisions about their work.

Carole Shuff, Informatics Programme Manager at Somerset Health Informatics Service, will be presenting a Case History about RiO at HC2004 on Tuesday 23 March 2004 at 16.00. Entitled “Progress Report on the Implementation of RiO, a mental health EPR system at Somerset Partnership NHS and Social Care Trust”, the Case History will be jointly presented by Donna Patten, Business Development Manager at CSE Servelec and supported by First DataBank Europe.
