The NHS Care Records Service is a service provided by NHS Connecting for Health for the National Health Service in England.
The project describes its objectives as follows:
| “ | Patient-centred care requires information to follow the patient so that it is available wherever and whenever it is needed. The NHS Care Records Service will allow this to happen. For the first time, information about patients will be mobile – as patients are themselves – and not remain in filing stores in the buildings where treatment or care has been received. | ” |
Famous quotes containing the words care, records and/or service:
“The defects and faults of the mind are like wounds in the body; after all imaginable care has been taken to heal them up, still there will be a scar left behind, and they are in continual danger of breaking the skin and bursting out again.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
