Information Standards
Information standards for health and care organisations to follow, so that data can be shared and compared across the sector.
An information standard is defined in the Health and Social Care Act 2012 as: 'a document containing standards that relate to the processing of information'.
Using information standards means that data can be understood across the sector, and used for planning and monitoring as well as for good patient care. The Data Coordination Board (DCB) assures the quality of information standards. Visit the full list of current information standards and collections.
