Digital care records and system integrations
Recover Up To 3 Full-Time Care Roles By Connecting Your Care Systems
A 20-home group can lose 5,480 hours a year when care records, eMAR, rostering and reporting do not talk to each other. Altus simplifies integrations so that lost time can come back as up to 3 full-time care roles worth of capacity.
NHS 2030, AI and digital reporting will demand cleaner data and better visibility. Disconnected systems will make margin pressure worse unless the integrations are owned.

Integrations are key
simplification happens when systems talk to each other
Integration-led simplification
If staff are checking three systems to answer one care question, the technology is working against them.
Most homes already have the platforms they need. The cost is in the handoffs between them. Altus joins care records to medication, rostering, finance, reporting and operational systems so care groups recover capacity without increasing headcount.
Care And Medication
Connect digital care records with medication and clinical workflows.
- eMAR platforms
- Care planning systems
- Incident and risk workflows
People And Operations
Reduce duplicated work between the systems that run the home.
- Rostering and payroll
- Finance and HR
- Catering and occupancy workflows
Reporting And Insight
Give leaders cleaner information across homes, systems and geographies.
- GP Connect and reporting routes
- CQC evidence and audit trail
- Leadership dashboards
Scale proof
Built for real care groups, not isolated pilots.
Altus supports connected care platforms used by 1,000+ users across multiple geographies. That matters because integrations need ownership after go-live, especially when suppliers change APIs, workflows or reporting requirements.
Care system integration explained
Digital care records questions care providers ask
What is a digital care records system?
A digital social care record replaces paper care plans and notes with software used at the point of care. Staff record care on handheld devices, managers see what is happening across the home, and information such as risks, medication and incidents is available to the people who need it.
Why should care systems be integrated?
Most homes already run care records, eMAR, rostering, finance and reporting tools. When they do not talk to each other, staff enter the same information more than once and managers piece reports together by hand. Integration moves data between systems automatically, so time goes back into care.
What is GP Connect and how does it help care homes?
GP Connect lets authorised care staff see information from a resident's GP record, such as medication and allergies, inside approved care systems. It reduces phone calls to surgeries and gives staff a more complete picture when reviewing care or responding to a change in health.
How do digital care records support CQC inspections?
Digital records give inspectors a clear, time-stamped audit trail of care delivered, incidents and follow-up actions. Managers can show trends and oversight rather than searching paper files. The value depends on staff recording consistently and leaders reviewing the data, not just owning the software.
Who owns an integration after it goes live?
This is where many projects fail. Suppliers change their systems, reporting needs grow and connections break quietly. Agree before go-live who monitors each integration, who fixes it when it fails and how changes are tested. One accountable partner avoids faults sitting between suppliers.
