  1. What is the PRSB and what’s in it for me? Marlene Winfield Non-executive Director for Patient and Public affairs marelenwinfield@gmail.com

  2. What is the PRSB? • Registered as a Community Interest Company (CIC) in May 2013 • Delivers and supports standards for the structure and content of electronic records used in health and social care • Aims to reflect the needs of those who commission, provide and receive care - and those who provide the IT systems that enable care

  3. How do we deliver those aims? • Quality-assure existing and new standards according to clear criteria • Support those developing standards, for example by putting them in touch with professional leads/experts /organisations who can help them • Undertake consultations and help others with their consultations • Provide considered opinions, information, advice and implementation guidance • Publish quality assured standards

  4. We aim to be a unified voice that ensures care record standards: • Reflect the way people work together • Reflect current best practice • Enable information to cross boundaries • Enable good outcomes • Enable data to be aggregated and used for research, management, and planning • And can be adopted by information systems

  5. Unifying features • We have representation from the four nations and links into their relevant initiatives • We have been confirmed as 'the preferred route for clinical involvement in patient record keeping national activities' by the National Informatics Board (previously Informatics Services Commissioning Group - ISCG)

  6. Range of founder members • National Voices (umbrella patient group organisation) • Royal College of Physicians • Allied Health Professions Federation • Royal College of Nursing • Royal College of General Practitioners • Royal College of Pathologists • Royal College of Surgeons of England • Royal College of Psychiatrists • Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health • Academy of Medical Royal Colleges • Association of Directors of Adult Social Services • British Computer Society

  7. What’s in it for me as a patient?

  8. Next year I can access my GP record • Check it for accuracy • Be an informed partner in my care • Manage my prescriptions and appointments • Check immunisations, test results, letters • Use on holiday if I am ill • Link up my care in the community • Keep my relatives informed

  9. My hospital records are not far behind

  10. Increasingly I might also want to: • Record my self-monitoring information • Add medicines I prescribe for myself • Add to my interactive care plan and check what others are doing • Order routine tests and check test results • Keep a health diary • Record my appointments and set reminders All this has implications for you as IT system suppliers

  11. In the past there have been disconnects . . . • Between those who develop records and those who use them • Between those who supply IT systems and those who develop records • Between those who use records and those who supply the IT systems • And between everyone and the patient!!!!!

  12. The disconnects meant • What people built was not always wanted • What people wanted couldn’t always be built • No one considered the patient’s needs as a future record user or system user

  13. Through shared standards, the PRSB aims to bring the pieces together

  14. So that when care records are developed - and systems enable them - everyone is happy, including me!
