This Connected Health Ecosystem event was held virtually on Tuesday 26th April and consisted of several presentations centred on the topic of Greater Manchester Care Records.
The GM Care Record allows workers in health or social care, easy access to patient information that is critical to support decision-making about patient care and treatment. It is being used to access over 140k patient records by over 13.5k frontline users each month (Dec. 2021) and connects over 500 organisations including primary and secondary care, mental health and community trusts, out of hours services, specialist trusts, social care and the region’s ambulance service.
The event brought together different perspectives from clinical, academia, industry and the GM health and care system to showcase the work that has gone in to creating the GM Care Record and the benefits this will bring to the care and treatment of the citizens of Greater Manchester in future.
Speakers included academics and experts from the University of Manchester, Health Innovation Manchester and Graphnet. After several short presentations concerning the GM Care Records, a 30 minute Q&A session was held where attendees had the chance to ask the speakers any questions.
