Summary Care Records in urgent and emergency care in England

Abstract:
Summary Care Records (SCRs) have been created for more than 50% of the population of England. The number is increasing at about 100,000 records a week. Fewer than 1.5% of people have elected not to have a SCR. SCRs contain updated details of patient medication, allergies and adverse reactions, electronically extracted from the GP record. A patient and their GP can also agree to have additional information included. SCRs are being viewed by authorised healthcare staff in urgent and emergency care settings all over England. Benefits are being reported in relation to increased patient safety, improved clinical decision making, improved efficiency and improved quality of care. NHS England strongly supports the uptake and adoption of SCRs by Trusts in England.
