NHS Connecting for Health:Benefits of electronic care record

Six actors and a director communicating the benefits of electronic care records.

Title: Supporting Care: the NHS before and after the National Programme for IT - improving patient care by enabling clinicians and other NHS staff to increase their efficiency and effectiveness.

A short film showing how the National Programme for IT supports the delivery of care. Created for NHS and healthcare staff, it shows how new technology helps treat patients. It highlights how staff and patient experience of care will change when hospitals have access to patients' Summary Care Records. It also shows how patients can better manage their own health by, for example, checking their care plans through HealthSpace.

NHS attempts to provide an integrated electronic patient record are farcical - just like this video

Much of what presents to A&E could be managed in general practice (either during working day or the out of hours service). Casualty is maned mostly by junior doctors, General Practitioners are equivalent to Consultants in terms of additional years spent since perhaps themselves being Casualty officiers. That much illness gets better on its own needs a fine judgement as to whether to leave a patient to self-heal or issue antibiotics (something hospitals only slowly seem to be catching up on)

We Brits MUST protect our beloved NHS from the evil forces of private, fat cat profiteers.

Daniel Hannan of the Conservative party is openly pushing for a sweeping privatisation of the NHS.

The number one reason for homelessness in America is medical bills (co-pays & deductables). People in America have already died of swine flu, whereas nobody in Britain has died of Swine flu despite high infection rates.

We MUST defend it!

The money they waste in obsurd. I should know i worked for them.

These 'in house' doctor people they have now in A&E are a disgrace to the meaning of National Health services.

The NHS has been stolen from under the publics nose. churchill guaranteed us it would be there.

I went to the A&E in hospital last night in dire pain and was sent home by CAMIDOC to make an appointment with my local GP.

HOW WE HAVE LET THIS CAMIDOC TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS TO TREATMENT I DO NOT KNOW.

Disgusting.

I hope my taxes have not gone towards paying for this. Some bright spark obviously thought that by injecting a bit of humour, everyone would just forget the cost overruns, delays, missing functionality, etc.

You should replace it with a scene of a group of medical staff & civil servants throwing a stream of 20 pound notes into a bottomless pit under the direction of a bunch of be-suited management consultants.
