Personal Care Pathways (PCPs) are critical to maintaining adherence and positive health outcomes for patients. Delivering this electronically and at scale has not previously been possible due to challenges such as capturing patient consent and the lack of a mechanism which can deliver secure and timely personal care information to patients in a compliant way.

Healthcare Gateway director of commercial and customer experience Liam King said: “Healthcare Gateway have been very successful at brokering real-time information between clinical settings for a number of years, we’re excited to be working with Instant Access Medical in the rollout of MyPCR.

This technology puts the patient at the centre of their care, where patient consent and data sharing agreements permit.”

The MyPCR platform interfaces with all three major UK NHS GP systems making National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) based personal care pathways available for patients.

Instant Access Medical CEO Dr Stan Shepherd added: “Personal Care Pathways are vital to encouraging self-care and to improving the long-term health of patients. They are a core component in ensuring patients have complete access to personalised self-management of their treatment end to end.
