New 111 referrals standard supports safe transfer of care
NHS 111 is the digital front door to many services and PRSB’s 111 referrals standard will help ensure the right information flows so people get the care they need quickly and safely. The standard ensures that information from 111 or 999 flows to the professional or clinician receiving to support safe transfer of care. The final draft standard is now live and available on our website.
Combining digital skills with compassionate nursing care is critical to the future of the nursing and midwifery professions. Lucy Brown of the Florence Nightingale Foundation discusses the importance of digital and how our organisations can work together to advance the digital transformation and improve care, in this guest blog.
PRSB’s strategy for 2022 is live and available on our website. There are four key areas of focus, including developing standards to support integrated care and shared care records. The strategy is designed to ensure our members’ voices are represented in standards development.
Sermaurei, a developer of software which produces audio clinical records, is the latest organisation to become a PRSB partner. We welcome Kehinde Gbolade and her team, and look forward to working with Sermaurei to advance standards in this innovative and specialist solution.
Join our sessions at the Digital Healthcare Show
PRSB is excited to be speaking at the Digital Healthcare Show on 18 May. Social prescribing lead, Sarah Moreton, will be speaking about the newly published standard and following her session, PRSB Chair, Maureen Baker, will be chairing a session on standardised data and analytics.
The PRSB responds to the findings and recommendations of the ‘Better, broader, safer’ report, led by Professor Ben Goldacre. The publication reviews how health data is used for research and analysis, and how this can be improved to benefit patient outcomes and the healthcare sector.
