NHS Care Records Service
The
NHS Care Records Service (NHS CRS) is part of the
National Programme for IT of the
UK National Health ServiceThe CRS describes its objectives as follows:
'Patient-centred care requires information to follow the patient so that it is available wherever and whenever it is needed. The NHS Care Records Service will allow this to happen. For the first time, information about patients will be mobile - as patients are themselves - and not remain in filing stores in the buildings where treatment or care has been received.'
