Care Planning for all 15m LTC Patients

The Department of Health has set a high priority on establishing care planning for all 15 million patients with a long term condition. It wants to see fast progress on this issue. This will probably mean introducing a simpler form of care planning than that which already exists for patients with severe illnesses and complex needs. It may be that this extra new form of care planning is focused on patients who are routinely dealt with in primary care and fits into the annual health check process.

If care planning on this scale is to be achieved quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively it will need the right IT solution to support the needs of patients and professionals.  Intouch with Health has devised “MyCarePlan” to provide this IT solution.

Goal setting for patients

A particular issue is to support patients in considering their situation and potential health goals, ideally BEFORE their Care Planning consultation, so that both they and their doctor or nurse hit the ground running, saving the professional’s time and the patient’s embarrassment. MyCarePlan has a special module to facilitate this. The system is already attracting the attention of a number of SHAs and PCTs. If you would like to learn more please follow the link to My Care Plan and do please contact us to set up an exploratory meeting.
