End-of-Life Care: Electronic Palliative Care Coordination Systems (EPACCs)
Graphnet’s End-of-Life Care solution empowers health and social care sectors by providing a unified approach to palliative and end-of-life care.
Clinicians, care staff, patients and their carers can jointly plan end of life care with the security of knowing that up-to-date information, assessments and records are available to authorised users where and whenever they need them.
Our EPaCCS Record offers a staged approach to end of life planning. Each stage builds on the information gathered in the last, ensuring the patient’s wishes are intuitively recorded and respected as they progress towards the end of life.
Supporting Key Sectors with a Unified System
Graphnet’s End-of-Life record integrates seamlessly into the Shared Care solution and other existing health and social care infrastructures, providing an intuitive, single-sign-on experience.
It supports various sectors, including:
- Primary Care (GPs): Enables the registration and creation of end-of-life records directly from systems like EMIS Web.
- Hospitals: Hospital doctors using platforms such as iPM can access and update records in real time.
- Out-of-Hours Services: Clinicians using systems like Adastra can view and contribute to the shared record without additional logins.
- Ambulance Services: Ambulance crews can identify patients with end-of-life plans before dispatch, improving response and care coordination.
- Social Care Providers: Enables integration with care planning systems, ensuring that social care teams have real-time access to patient records.
