Shared Care Record – Portal

Home > Shared Care Record – Portal

Portal is a web app which provides a blended view of the data from multiple sources, via the Exchange, and thereby presents a holistic view of the person to support the healthcare processional providing care. 

Although some organisations will build their own user interface, the Portal provides a ready-made alternative which can be used as a standalone app or an integrated solution.  

For example, it can be launched from within your organisation’s patient record (known as ‘contextual launch’), which is preferable as it removes the need for separate logins and passwords and save staff time.  

A modern browser is required to operate the Portal, such as Chrome or Edge.  

It will not function in old non-supported browsers such as Internet Explorer, and it will also not function if Edge is run in ‘IE mode’ which is sometimes the practice required to support legacy applications. It is not fully tested on Firefox and Safari.
