NCRS roadmap
The NCRS roadmap outlines the high-level objectives and projects we are researching or planning to deliver in the coming months.
Design changes to the Patient tab
We would like your feedback on our proposed design change to the Patient tab.
If checking detailed patient demographics is an important part of your role, please sign up to take part in the research.
Strategy
The NCRS should be used:
- where access to a summary of key patient information is required to support clinical decision making where full detailed patient records are not required
- to compliment local shared records by giving access to key patient information across ICS boundaries
- where a local shared care record is currently not available
The strategic intention for NCRS was set out in the Department for Health and Social Care policy via the Plan for digital health and care.
It is part of the work to build core national ‘connect’ capabilities, to enable authorised health and care professionals to have a holistic experience of the health and care system no matter where they happen to be in England.
