An ecosystem platform approach to sharing information
Across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, we currently have two types of Shared Care Records. The GP Repository of Clinical Care (GPRCC) helps GP practices identify activities that can support patients better and provide them with the most effective care. In contrast, the Nottinghamshire Health and Care Portal enables information to be shared across different health and care settings to ensure that people receive the right care, in the right place. Shortly, work will begin on the Ecosystem Platform (ESP) which will enhance this information. To learn more, watch our short video.
The Ecosystem Platform approach to digital transformation offers the local Integrated Care System (ICS) an opportunity to improve Shared Care Records across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Shared Care Records allow primary and secondary care clinicians to see the same information about a patient, meaning that patients only need to tell their health and care history or story once instead of multiple times. This saves time, reduces inefficiencies and ensures that patients receive the right care and support first time.
The Ecosystems programme is a high level priority delivered by the Data, Analytics, Information and Technology (DAIT) Board of the ICS. The programme is driven by a statutory requirement to have a Shared Care Record across the ICS. At a local level, the ESP project board is responsible for reviewing and providing guidance on the individual priorities.
The ESP will deliver the Shared Care Records for the ICS over a two year period. This project aligns closely to the Public-Facing Digital Services (PFDS) and Capacity and Flow (C&F) programmes.
This project aims to give every health and care professional the data they need, when they need it – irrespective of who collected it, or in what system or organisational setting it comes from.

Based on an exemplar benefits assessment commissioned by the NHS, the benefits potential could reach up to 25:1 when looking at the value of time released to care. A benefits realisation approach will be put in place as part of the programme in due course.
