All of the resources included in our person-centred care resource centre have been reviewed by the Health Foundation. We believe them to be of the highest possible standard but we do not take responsibility for the accuracy of information from third parties.
Case studies
This brief case study describes how the Isle of Wight created web-based patient records shared between organisations and with the individual patients themselves as part of their work to deliver integrated care and support to older people with long term conditions.

Empowering patients to manage and shape their own health and health care is crucial if we are going to realise the vision of a more person-centred NHS.
Other tools and resources
This briefing outlines the key themes from a senior professionals workshop on joining up personal budgets, at the King’s Fund. It sets out practical approaches to implementation that might be considered by local leaders as they develop their approaches to integrating personal budgets.

Discussion papers
In this short article, intestinal transplant patient Michael Seres argues that he uses his phone and other mobile technology in his everyday life, and that if the NHS were to capitalise on this it would both improve patient experience and help the nHS to be more efficient.
Academic / research papers
This review examined the types of technology available to facilitate self-management for people with diabetes and the impacts of this technology. It focuses on studies published into mobile phone and internet interventions and includes 14 studies published between 2008 and 2015. The review found that technological interventions were associated with improved blood sugar control, self-management behaviours and self-efficacy.
Other tools and resources
This briefing is intended to answer a number of common questions raised with NHS England's personal health budget team following the publication of Forward View into action: Planning for 2015/16. It includes what is meant by 'major expansion', which groups are included and what CCGs should consider as they develop their local plans.
Other tools and resources
The Technology Enabled Care Services Resource for Commissioners has been developed by NHS commissioners to identify practical tools that can help maximise the value of technology enabled care services for patients, carers, commissioners and the whole health economy. It is intended to support all commissioners of health and care services, including NHS England, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and local authorities and providers of health and social care.
Blog
In this blog Dr Carlin argues that telemedicine is failing to reach its potential because it is not linked to clinical practice. He sets out how good connected care is built around a closed feedback loop - you collect patient data on a frequent nonintrusive basis, convert that data into an interpretation of the situation and tie that interpretation to a clinical action.
