Benefits of an EPR system
EPR empowers community, mental and child health providers to improve their outcomes, by providing a holistic picture of each person. The system supports the vision to hold one integrated, electronic health record (EHR) for each person, to make it possible to deliver the highest quality and most efficient healthcare service.
- Centralised electronic health records: EPR holds detailed information about a person’s health including medication, inpatient appointments, test and x-ray results and their medical history, which is quick and simple to access when required.
- Full integration with other systems and software: Significantly enhance care quality, clinical safety, and a patient’s experience with full integration to your existing processes and systems. Care administration is efficient, with reduced operational costs and improved outcomes.
- Access via apps, modules, portals, and mobile: Flexible ways to connect secondary care, GP, and social care systems enables practitioners at every stage of the care-giving process to see details of a person’s previous treatments without delay. With more access to information from healthcare, social care, and public sector systems all in one place, you can see the bigger picture and make decisions from a holistic viewpoint.
- Mobile data updates: EPR helps you to transform the way in which your teams provide healthcare, by enabling practitioners to update patient care records wherever they are. Our mobile applications provide real-time patient information and alerts at appropriate times, enabling faster, safer decision-making at the point of care.
- Powerful reporting: EPR also provides best practice assessments, workflows, and care pathways to free up your time from administrative tasks and focus on the individual’s care.
- Individual access: The person receiving services can manage their own healthcare better with access to their own information. It is also easy to share this information with other providers within social and primary care, further enhancing care for the individual and really making a difference to their life.

NCRS – the National Care Record Service
NHS England (NHSE) has introduced a new National Care Record Service (NCRS) application. The NCRS portal replaces the Summary Care Record application (SCRa), which healthcare professionals use to view clinical and demographic information.
The NCRS still allows clinicians access to things such as the Personal Demographics Service (PDS), National Record Locator (NRL), and the Summary Care Record, but it also expands into areas of child protection, overseas visitors, and Covid-19 information.
Benefits of NCRS interface:
- Quick, secure access to national patient information
- Can be used in clinical and mobile environments
- Improved security, including biometrics and multifactor authentication
- Viewable online or via a patient record system (EPR)
Rio EPR NCRS Click-through
Rio EPR NCRS Click-through is a service that connects to the NCRS portal, allowing health and care professionals to access and update a range of patient and safeguarding information across regional Integrated Care Services (ICS) boundaries.
Customers utilising the Access Rio EPR SCR Click-Through will be seamlessly upgraded to the new NCRS Click-Through interface as part of the monthly release cycle.
