eCare is the eHealth Programme, to enable child protection information that is held by Lanarkshire MAS to be received and displayed by Vision 3.

This is targeted at patients who are active on the child protection register, or for patients that are linked to patients active on the child protection register. It also provides a facility to access information held by Lanarkshire MAS using the eCare Viewer.

The aim of Vision 3 Lanarkshire MAS eCare is to enable improved sharing of electronically held data among providers of children’s service and thereby ensuring that children subject to protection procedures, or who are at risk, are identified as soon as possible.

eCare Alerts for transferred out patients are not accepted by Vision 3.
