Acute Data Alignment Programme (ADAPt)

The Acute Data Alignment Programme (ADAPt) was a joint programme between NHS Digital and the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN). It looked to adopt common standards for data collections and performance measures across both the NHS and private healthcare. This was to ensure that relevant information was consistently recorded and available so it could be more easily analysed and compared.

The aim of ADAPt was to move towards a common set of standards for data collections, performance measure methodologies and reporting systems across NHS and private healthcare.

The purpose was to protect patient safety through appropriate, secure and robust information sharing – ensuring the right information is available to the right people, in the right place at the right time.
