CASPA announces the publication of its GP Connect Whitepaper

CASPA announces the publication of its GP Connect Whitepaper, releasing a blueprint for data exchange between health and social care.

As the representative organisation for the views and interests of the thriving social care software provider sector, the Care Software Providers Association – CASPA – is delighted to announce the latest on its work to advocate for clearer and more joined-up lines of communication between health and social care.

CASPA has produced a white paper which presents a blueprint for GP-to-social care data-sharing pathway, giving care providers the solution they need to transfer patient information quickly and accurately.

CASPA has been delighted to work with Digital Social Care and NHS Transformation Directorate (NHSTD) on this collaborative project and is encouraged that social care continues to lead the way on the integration and interoperability agenda.

Better data sharing between health and social care with interoperability is key to achieving better patient outcomes and can support social care’s important role in keeping people healthy in the community. Doing so can relieve pressure on the NHS and help people live happier, healthier lives in their local areas.

A representative of the CASPA Board commented:

CASPA is delighted to publish its GP Connect Whitepaper to showcase the impact we are achieving by working with policy makers and influencers such as NHS Transformation and Digital Social Care. It has been so encouraging to see CASPA’s impact and to be working with committed colleagues in NHSTD who, like CASPA, are keen to see that the social care sector is able to demonstrate its high levels of innovation to the benefit of those receiving care.
