Digital Care Record Systems
By replacing paper-based notes with secure, real-time digital records, these systems make it easier to capture, share, and access vital information about the people we care for.
Using a DSCR leads to greater accuracy, improved communication between staff, and frees up time for providing person centred support.
Digital records also strengthen compliance, offer clearer audit trails, and give managers valuable insights to improve quality of care and evidence outcomes for both regulators and family and friends.
Funding for DSCR
There's currently no funding available for Digital Care Record Systems but we've created a Supplier Comparison Tool which allows you to compare the features of systems listed on the NHS's Approved Supplier List*.Click on the links below to use the tool to view features and compare systems.
