The Great North Care Record will:
- Support the differing needs of research, service planning and analytics users, including both hypothesis driven and non-hypothesis driven research. This should include a modular framework to facilitate extension or modification of analytics functionality as needs evolve
- Support improved interactions between researchers and clinicians to develop the translational medicine agenda across the North East and North Cumbria
- Collect data from most/all health and non-health settings, and link together data sets so it is possible to trace a patient’s journey through the care system (via NHS Number ideally), track their outcomes, and investigate ‘cause and effect’ of interventions
