Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Join YHCR

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (DBTH) has gone live with the Yorkshire and Humber Care Record (YHCR), improving how the organisation accesses and shares patient information across health and social care services.

The digital platform, powered by Interweave, securely connects records from hospitals, GPs, mental health services and social care providers, ensuring professionals have the most up-to-date information when they need it.

Mike Whiteside, Chief Clinical Information Officer at DBTH, said: “For colleagues, this means easier access to key patient details, fewer delays in retrieving information and better coordination between teams. With a complete view of a patient’s history, we can reduce duplication, streamline discharge planning and provide safer, more personalised care.”

Further information is also being added into the shared care record by a neighbouring health service organisation, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (STH). STH has added information including inpatient discharge summaries, outpatient clinic letters and emergency department discharge summaries.

There are now 13 local NHS organisations and local authorities involved in advancing the programme in South Yorkshire, across the Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield areas.
