Poor data sharing and lack of integration across NHS, social care, voluntary and private providers...
Conclusion
Poor data sharing and lack of integration across NHS, social care, voluntary and private providers creates confusion, delays and gaps in continuity for people at the end of life, frequently placing the burden of coordination care on patients and carers during what is an extremely emotional and challenging period. Despite existing systems for data sharing, inconsistent uptake, poor interoperability and limited outcome-level information reduce effectiveness. (Conclusion, Paragraph 55)
