SafetyNet is a computerised, networked patient care system currently under development in the South Camden sector of Bloomsbury Health Authority. The project is primarily targeted at the clinical monitoring of people suffering from schizophrenia and the system incorporates measures which can provide a basis for quality assurance of care and a clinically driven approach to audit. SafetyNet is being designed to help keep track of individual sufferers, chart their needs as they change over time, prompt the services to action and knit together the responses needed from different agencies. It is a modular system which can be adapted to the needs of people with different kinds of mental illness and to different community populations.
Based on a talk given at the Friern Hospital Computers in Psychiatry Study Day. Chairman Dr Patrick Campbell.
