NHS National Services Scotland has revealed that it will develop a Key Information Summary that will be completely integrated with its Emergency Palliative Care Summary (EPCS) record. Palliative Care Summary was integrated within Emergency Care Summary earlier this year, currently, it serves more than 25% of the population.
Jonathan Cameron, program manager of the National Information Systems Group for NHS NSS, highlighted that the new summary would rely mainly on the success of the EPCS but would also add considerably more information to the record. Cameron said, “The Key Information Summary (KIS) aims to replace paper notes being faxed from GP practices to NHS24, provide support for electronic anticipatory care plans, long term conditions and mental health by utilizing the existing EPCS infrastructure.”
