Electronic Palliative Care Coordination Systems, or EPaCCS, is a means to capture and share information from people’s discussions about their care. The aim of this is to ensure that any professional involved in that person’s care has access to the most up to date information, including any changes to their preferences and wishes and personalised care plans.

The core record is usually kept by the General Practitioner in their electronic system and information sharing agreements put into place to allow relevant professionals involved in the person’s care to view and therefore be aware of the individual’s palliative and end of life personalised care plan.
