Number of residential social care locations without a digital social care record system (17727) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of CQC registered residential care homes (including those with and without nursing) included in the monthly aggregation of responses to the Provider Information Return (PIR) that say they do not have a digital social care record (DSCR) system in place. It is a count of locations whose responses are included over the last 12 months.
A Digital Social Care Record (DSCR) allows the digital recording of care information and care received by an individual, within a social care setting, replacing traditional paper records. DSCRs are person-centred and enable information to be shared securely and in real-time with authorised individuals across the health and care sector.
The Digitising Social Care Records Programme (led by NHS Transformation Directorate) is aiming for all CQC-registered adult social care providers to have access to a digital social care record that can interoperate with a local Shared Care Record by 2024. These records will play an important role in joining up care across social care and the NHS, freeing up time spent by care workers and managers on administrative tasks whilst equipping them with the information they need to deliver care. They are the platform on which other remote care tools can integrate and can enable the greater personalisation of care planning that focuses on the individual.
All registered managers of adult social care locations are invited to complete the provider information return (PIR) on an annual basis (unless the service has been excluded from the request process). The PIR is a snapshot of services at the time it is completed. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) use this information to monitor the quality of care provided.
