The GM Care Record
The GM Care Record provides health and social care professionals with vital information to inform safer decision-making about patient care and treatment for all 2.8m of us in Greater Manchester.
It shares important information about health and care including: current health or care issues, medications, allergies, test results, care plans, social care and input from patients or carers via the My GM Care app.
The GM Care Record pulls patient information from several important areas of health and care including: primary care, secondary care, community services, mental health services, social care and specialist services e.g. North West Ambulance Service and The Christie.
This means that patients won’t have to repeat their medical history to professionals in different organisations, care plans will be followed consistently, and clinicians will be better equipped to identify patterns and plan care more effectively to meet the patients’ needs.
Integrated care planning
Care plans are accessible to everyone involved in a person’s care, including patients via the My GM Care app. Benefits include:
Paper to digital – existing paper-based care plans are standardised and digitised to reduce variations in care
Earlier detection – care plans follow NICE guidelines on diagnosis, investigation, and management of conditions
Improved communication – clinicians can see the latest test results, medications and patient wishes
Improved support – patients have a better understanding of their condition and know who to contact if needed
Cost and time saving – evidence-based therapies delivered in a timely manner reduces risk of hospitalisation
