Digital Social Care Record

DSCRs are software solutions for recording a person’s care information replacing paper records.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is providing funding to social care providers through the ‘Adult Social Care Digital Transformation Fund’ during 2023/24. The fund aims to ensure that 80% of CQC registered providers have a Digital Social Care Record (DSCR) in place by March 2024.

The Norfolk & Waveney ICS have been awarded funding by NHS Transformation to provide grants for CQC registered care providers to contribute towards the year 1 costs of implementing DSCR.

In order to receive funding you must chose a supplier form the NHS Transformation Assured Supplier List.

The Benefits:

• Share up-to-date information more easily and securely
• Reduce time spent on admin tasks
• Improves the safety and quality of your care records
• Helps you to provide person-centred care
• Supports you to improve your CQC rating by providing the evidence that you deliver care at the regulatory standard
