Patient preferences and care choices are relevant at all stages of an
illness. In the past this has been delivered via different registers.
Valida MCCR is designed to provide an all-encompassing register for
the recording of patient choices. In this way, data can
be captured about decisions relevant to the person at
the right time. Some decisions may be relevant to all
situations, whilst others may only need to be
considered in the context of life limiting illness. By
having one overarching register the public and their
clinicians can become familiar with the concept of
recording choices earlier in their illness allowing an
ongoing discussion about priorities as their condition
changes over time.
Future development plans include using a web portal
to offer the opportunity for patients, and those they
trust, having access to their care choice record, giving
them confidence in the correct information being
available whatever the care setting. Care Homes,
therapy teams and Social Care providers will also then
make use of Valida MCCR to improve patient care.
