Integrating London’s child health records

It took the System C & Graphnet Care Alliance just four months to deliver a comprehensive electronic record of every child’s public health records in the capital. The system is powered by CarePlus, System C’s child health management solution. Graphnet’s CareCentric shared record platform sits on top of CarePlus, broadening record access beyond the central child health teams to additional authorised professionals at their point of work, such as health visitors. The CareCentric platform also manages interfacing with third party systems such as London’s eRedbook, giving parents an electronic record to help them manage their child’s early years.

As a result of the new London Child Information Service (CHIS), administration time has halved in one area and comprehensive data is available across a whole region in hours, not weeks. Within a few hours of being requested by the Grenfell Tower action team, the CHIS produced a full list of every child who had been resident in the previous six months.
