DSCR & compliance
Built to the DSCR standard
Digital Social Care Records are the digital care record CQC and your local authority expect. Rostera is built around the DSCR core capabilities and the Minimum Operational Data Standard — one auditable record from the care plan to the medication round.
Why it matters
The record the sector is moving to
A Digital Social Care Record replaces paper care notes with a structured, shareable, auditable record. NHS England and local authorities are actively moving providers onto assured digital records — and digitisation funding is tied to using a system that meets the standard.
Rostera was built for this from the ground up: the care plan, risk assessments, eMAR, observations and daily notes are one connected record, not bolt-ons — and every entry is tied to a real, geofenced visit.
What you can do with it
Capability coverage
Every DSCR core capability, covered
How Rostera maps to the capability areas of a Digital Social Care Record.
Care planning
Person-centred, versioned care plans and risk assessments with review dates and sign-off — visit tasks generate from the plan.
Medication (eMAR)
Dose-level electronic MAR with missed and refused doses flagged, PRN, side-effects and a printable monthly record.
Personal care recording
Every visit’s care logged against the plan — timestamped, attributable, and tied to a geofenced clock-in.
Observations & charts
Vitals, fluid balance, repositioning and skin-integrity charts, with hourly narrative logs.
Alerts & escalation
Missed visits, missed doses, late clock-outs and follow-ups escalate to the right person automatically.
Information sharing
A read-only family and guardian portal with per-section visibility, and printable Care Visit Records.
Access & audit
Role-scoped, multi-tenant access with a full audit log on every create, change and delete.
Reporting & export
CSV export of staff, rotas, clock history, care records and payroll; care records print to PDF. Your data stays yours.
Standards
Measured against the right bar — honestly
The assurance landscape has several gates. Here’s where each one stands for Rostera today.
An honest note on status. Rostera is built to the DSCR core capabilities and MODS data standard, and our security and clinical-safety work is aligned to DSPT and DCB0129. We are not yet listed on the NHS England Assured Supplier List — formal assurance is in progress. There is no such thing as “CQC-certified” software; CQC registers and inspects care providers, not the systems they use.
