Somersets Clinicians at Yeovil Hospital Gain Access to Dorset GP Records Through Groundbreaking Data Integration

Clinicians at Yeovil Hospital can now seamlessly access GP records for Dorset patients, creating a plan of care and writing back to patient records. This integration between Somerset's SIDeR+ shared care record and Dorset's TPP SystmOne primary care records enhances care quality for the 30% of Yeovil Hospital patients from Dorset.

Key Highlights

• Delivered in partnership with NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Black Pear Software
• Enables real-time access to Dorset patients' GP data through SIDeR+ platform
• Allows clinicians to create and share care plans with Dorset GP practices

Dr. Bilal Ahmed, Emergency Department Consultant, emphasized the significance:

"A unified data-sharing system across ICS borders allows us to deliver faster, safer, and more efficient patient care."

David Jehring, Black Pear Software's CEO, added:

"We're proud to have developed a solution that dismantles barriers between care systems."

Impact

The integration is part of a broader strategy to connect healthcare organizations near Somerset's borders. SIDeR+ is currently accessed over 35,000 times monthly by more than 2,600 healthcare staff.
