Health and care professionals invited to help define joined-up care info
- 16 April 2019
The Professional Record Standards Body (PRSB) is inviting health and care professionals across the UK to take part in a survey to help define core information for joined-up care.
The survey forms part of work commissioned by NHS England to determine what information needs to be shared in local health and care records.
Designed to help support people to take more control of their health and care and ensure that professionals receive the information they need, the standard will determine exactly what information about a person needs to be shared to support safe, high quality joined-up care.
The draft standard featured in the survey has been developed following extensive consultation with patients, carers and other citizens, health and care professionals and system vendors.
Anyone wishing to take part in the survey has until 30 April to do so.
The PRSB is the organisation tasked with developing standards for digital health and care records.
In December 2018, the organisation announced it had published standards designed to ensure that health records are properly named and indexed.
Developed in partnership with the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) Health Informatics Unit (HIU), the standards ensure that records can be easily found when needed, particularly in an emergency.

Maybe I am being naive, but isn’t this reinventing the wheel, which was originally designed for the Spine and Summary Care Record circa 2003? What have NHS standards bodies been doing in the intervening 16 years?
I, a simple patient, have always assumed that clever standards chaps and chapesses have been busy widening those standards bit by bit over these 16 years.
But no, they clearly have not been doing that, so that now the PRSB has to go back to the beginning, and start again from scratch, asking the populace what they want..
Come back Richrad Granger, all is forgiven!
