What's new? Project on person characteristics | New partners | Case study on how we've helped digitise adult social care

| View in browser Welcome to our November newsletter!  PRSB to explore how person characteristics are used in clinical decision-making We’re delighted to announce that we've been chosen to lead a consultation for NHS England to explore how person characteristics are used in clinical decision making and improve how they are recorded in care records. A new approach will ensure that health records fully reflect the diversity of individuals and give them greater control over their healthcare information, including how it is shared between clinical settings. Together with the Federation for Informatics Professionals, we aim to make care safer, more inclusive, and more effective by enabling seamless, standardised data sharing across NHS systems.   Find out more CACI start their journey with PRSB standards as they launch their new care management software An international IT consultancy and services organisation, which holds expertise in health and social care, has joined the PRSB’s Standards Partnership Scheme to ensure that their new solution complies with our standards to enable care providers effective care planning.
