"Once for the Patient" is a person-centred electronic record system for NHS Grampian, developed with DHI using co-design methodologies. Completed in spring 2021, it aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness by ensuring records follow patients from admission to discharge. Person-centred Records (PCR) Project impact Electronic record-keeping rolled out in wards throughout NHS Grampian Improvements to record-keeping made Working groups established to guide future development "Once for the Patient" is a person-centred electronic record system for NHS Grampian, developed with DHI using co-design methodologies. Completed in spring 2021, it aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness by ensuring records follow patients from admission to discharge. “Once for the Patient.” A person-centred, multi-disciplinary, electronic record for NHS Grampian hospital staff and patients. NHS Grampian is committed to the implementation of person-centred, multi-disciplinary, electronic record-keeping to provide a more effective and efficient service for patients admitted to their hospitals. DHI and NHS Grampian collaborated across a year-long programme of work, employing co-design innovation methodologies, ensuring the recommended solution was achieved with the person at the centre. DHI worked with hospital staff across multiple disciplines to prototype a new collaborative vision for electronic record-keeping that will follow the patient on their journey from admission to discharge. This project was completed in spring 2021. Summary Since completion of the project, the NHS Grampian e-Health and clinical team have made changes to the patient records system and introduced new electronic ways of working in several areas. Working groups have been established to further develop recommendations in four key areas: • Leadership and Support • Common Language and Structure • Governance and Best Practice • Purposeful Recording Impact & value The Design Team led a series of interviews, pop-up engagement, and collaborative workshops, reviewing our planned activities on an ongoing basis. This reflective and adaptive approach allowed us to respond to the emerging insights through the course of the project and respond to these. Our process included production of a manifesto for electronic records, common data analysis, and role-play using a prototype digital solution in a hospital test ward. Progress to date Scoping of an extension to the project was paused due to pressures in NHS Grampian arising from Covid-19. This project would propose to prototype an interaction between electronic inpatient health records and social care records, which was identified during the project as a critical barrier to providing the most efficient and seamless care for the patient. It has been agreed that when circumstances allow, discussions will resume to scope this work.

This project aimed to rapidly develop and test the Care Homes Assessment Tool (CHAT) in at least two Health Boards/HSCP areas. CHAT supports staff in assessing, triaging, and accessing specialist clinical input for resident treatment. Care 'In Place' (CIP) Care Home Assessment Tool (CHAT) Stages 1 & 2 Project impact Development of an adaptable clinical assessment tool for Care Homes and a service wraparound model Assets developed to support sharing of information between health and social care This project aimed to rapidly develop and test the Care Homes Assessment Tool (CHAT) in at least two Health Boards/HSCP areas. CHAT supports staff in assessing, triaging, and accessing specialist clinical input for resident treatment. This was a partnership project led jointly by DHI and Scottish Care, involving NES, NHS Lanarkshire, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, DaySix and a number of care homes in the Lanarkshire and Glasgow areas. The principal objective was to rapidly develop and test a live implementation of the CHAT in at least two Health Board/HSCP areas to improve local operational decision-making in Care Homes, aid communication in situations where external clinical support is required and provide early notification of a potential viral outbreak within this sector. This project developed a care home assessment tool that supported staff to assess, triage and where appropriate access specialist clinical input for treatment of their residents during COVID-19. Stage 1 of the project was a Test of Change which produced a wireframe of a digital tool which was co-designed with citizens, service and clinical staff and stakeholders. This could be used to develop a web-based application (based on a Clinical Assessment Tool already developed by NES). Stage 2 was formally launched in July 2020 and involved the trial of the tool in a number of care homes in NHS Lanarkshire and Glasgow. Summary Impact & value A working prototype was implemented in two health boards, NHS GG&C and NHS Lanarkshire, with the tool initially being implemented in Cartvale Care Home (NHS GG&C) and Greenhills Care Home (NHS Lanarkshire) and later more care homes in NHS Lanarkshire. The number of assessments undertaken was low due to a number of factors including staff levels being impacted by COVID-19; outbreaks of COVID within the Care Home; staff recruitment and retention; prioritisation of the vaccine programme over symptom detection. The learning around the use of the assessment tool in care home settings and the sharing of information between health and care services was trailblazing at the time, and has produced a number of useful assets for future work around the challenges of care homes working collaboratively with NHS services. Furthermore, staff were very positive about the application’s capabilities and usefulness within the care homes and this was also recognised by the associated GP’s.

An immersive learning project exploring how XR can support suicide-prevention responses while strengthening workforce mental health and resilience. SAFXR: Safety Planning for Suicide Prevention XR Project impact SAFXR strengthens confidence, consistency and compassion in responses to suicidal distress through safe, immersive XR rehearsal. It combines evidence-informed safety planning with scenario-based learning to support responder capability and workforce wellbeing. If successful, SAFXR could inform future suicide-prevention training across health, social care, education, emergency and community settings. An immersive learning project exploring how XR can support suicide-prevention responses while strengthening workforce mental health and resilience. SAFXR (Safety Planning for Suicide Prevention XR) is a collaborative project led by Care Reality in partnership with NHS Education for Scotland, the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre, and the University of Glasgow. The project explores how immersive, scenario-based learning can support professionals responding to people experiencing suicidal thoughts, while also supporting their own mental health and resilience. SAFXR is currently in active co-design, with people with lived experience, frontline practitioners and mental health specialists shaping the learning content, scenarios and emotional safety considerations. Summary Responding to someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts is one of the most challenging situations many professionals will encounter in their work. These conversations are complex, emotionally demanding and often take place with little opportunity to practise or reflect in advance. SAFXR explores how immersive, scenario-based learning could help address this gap. By creating realistic XR experiences, the project aims to provide a safe space for professionals to rehearse responses, build confidence in safety-planning approaches and navigate uncertainty without real-world risk. The project also recognises the impact this work can have on those providing support. Workforce mental health and resilience are central considerations, with the learning experience designed to encourage reflection rather than assessment. Co-design sits at the heart of SAFXR. People with lived experience, alongside practitioners and mental health specialists, are shaping the content and emotional tone of the scenarios to ensure the learning feels authentic, respectful and grounded in real practice. Aligned with Scotland’s Creating Hope Together strategy and supported through Innovate UK funding, SAFXR aims to contribute to responsible and ethical approaches to suicide-prevention education. Impact & value Development of SAFXR began in July 2025 and the project is currently in its co-design phase. So far, work has focused on understanding the real-world contexts in which suicide-prevention conversations take place, and how these can be represented safely and meaningfully in an immersive environment. Co-design sessions have brought together lived experience contributors, practitioners and researchers to explore what good, supportive learning should feel like — not just what it should teach. This phase has included early scenario storyboarding, user-experience planning and careful consideration of emotional safety and trauma-informed design. Insights from research and practice are being used to guide decisions about narrative structure, pacing and interaction. At the same time, the partners are exploring how Care Reality’s FLO XR platform can best support these aims, ensuring that technical development remains led by learning, ethical and user needs. Progress to date The next stage of SAFXR will focus on moving from design into early testing. Initial testing of prototype scenarios is planned for 2026, including activity within the University of Glasgow’s ARC XR Lab. This will help explore usability, emotional safety and how the learning experience is received by users. Learning from this phase will inform further refinement of the scenarios and supporting materials. Subject to progress, wider evaluation across different sectors is anticipated as the project continues to develop. Further updates will be shared as SAFXR progresses, with collaboration between partners and contributors remaining central to shaping the project’s direction.

Design is being performed on an ever-increasing spectrum of complex practices. As a result, there is demand on the articulation of design’s application across disciplinary boundaries. This paper explores this context through acknowledging the retained role of design artefacts in engaging complex, collaborative contexts, and a developing understanding of boundary objects. This paper expands on notions of design artefacts as boundary objects by offering reflections on existing examples from ongoing design research in the context of health and care innovation. Through the process of framing a design problem, live models are developed as dialogical tools with collaborators to validate and inform design solutions. Such models are argued to act as boundary objects that are not static, but living artefacts open to ongoing scrutiny within the design context, offering an understanding of the value and practice of design artefacts in complex, collaborative contexts. < Return to resources Living on the Edge: Design artefacts as boundary objects Johnson, Michael and Ballie, Jen and Thorup, Tine and Brooks, Elizabeth Design is being performed on an ever-increasing spectrum of complex practices.
