Dr. Saif Ahmed, Clinical Lead for Frailty on the Greater Manchester LHCR programme, discusses improved sharing of information between health and care professionals to enhance care and support for people who are clinically frail.
We are developing a suite of technologies that will join up clinical systems and patient information so that frailty can be properly detected and monitored in line with national standards, patient records are consistent and instantly updated, we can develop advanced care plans, reduce the risk of falls, prevent hospital admissions and improve their overall quality of life.
The project will first be delivered in Tameside, Stockport and Salford.
It being led by Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust on behalf of the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership. Funding has been provided by NHS England as part of the national Local Health and Care Record programme.
