GPs having access to their patients’ medical record no matter where they are, supports the ‘paper free at point of care by 2020’ and Local Digital Roadmap ambitions.
Access to a secure encrypted laptop with access to the full GP clinical system and a portable printer to enable prescribing at remote locations will reduce GP paper copies of a summary version of a patients’ record, and prescription pads. This will provide a real-time access EMIS GP medical record.
This will also build on previous funding via Tech fund 2 and give access to the Cheshire Care Record providing access to laptops
