Cantium Delivers The Kent & Medway’s Integrated Shared Care Record

Delivered by Cantium Business Solutions, the KMCR provides real-time and secure access to clinical records and data. For health and care professionals, the new care record provides a more detailed and timely flow of information between service across a range of settings.

The integration of records will support the delivery of coordinated care, and see information shared across acute hospital trusts, community-based providers, mental health services, GP practices and ambulance services in the region – as well as Kent County Council and Medway Council’s adult and children’s social care teams.

The data shared across the organisations will enable quality clinical and professional decision making. It will drive better outcomes for the county’s patients and service users, especially in areas such as safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. All relevant information can be considered at the point of care to reduce levels of risk and ensure continuity of care.

 Improving Health and Social Care for the Citizens of Kent and Medway

In the long-term, Kent and Medway’s 1.8 million citizens will be able to access their own patient records through the KMCR, giving them the ability to proactively manage and engage with various elements of their own care.
