Delivering excellent care starts with ensuring that care providers are able to record and share information in a way that puts residents’ care at the centre, whilst reducing administrative burdens.

CareDocs’ digital solution aims to improve the digital recording of care and looks to the PRSB to support their customers to comply with our standards and deliver high quality care.

With the push for 80% of care settings to implement a digital care solution by March 2024, CareDocs believe this will result in all care settings being required by the NHS to provide fully digital care in the near future. This is why they are focused on working towards developing the next generation of care software and provide a future-proofed standard of digital care.

CareDocs want to play an active role within the digital care world. Ensuring that they uphold the standards that make health and care records interoperable with other systems and care environments will be key to that; and will mean they can support their customers in comprehensive care planning and effective sharing of vital information with colleagues, care homes and other care settings such as GPs and hospitals.

Our new Partner is about to kick off their conformance process against the About Me Standard. Following this, CareDocs plan to undertake the assessment for the Personalised Care and Support Plan Standard.

Allan Pocock, Managing Director at CareDocs, said: “We’re pleased to be working with the PRSB ensuring that high standards of care are maintained, as well as contributing to the continual improvement of care records across the care community. This comes at a time where we are working on developing our own next generation of care planning and management software, so it’s important for us as a business to collaborate with others within the care community to advance the adoption of technology in the sector to equip care businesses with the best way to provide care possible.”

Lorraine Foley, CEO at the PRSB, added: “Digital is an enabler of positive changes in recording and delivering care, but only through complying with standards can we make sure that we utilise the full potential of digital solutions. We hope to see more system suppliers in social care following the example of CareDocs and starting their work on conformance with our information standards to jointly shape the future of digital care – in the best way possible.”
