This means that the importance of medical records can now be recovered by any licensed system (previously, access to providers with local data-sharing agreements, point-to-point agreements was limited). This provides access to patient records wherever they are, including in other practices or in the 111 COVID 19 Clinical Assessment Service (CCAS) and family physicians can see patient records outside their practice if they have to work remotely. Allows for safer, timely maintenance and flexibility to manage strained system capacity. The maximum duration of the contract between the expected signing date and the end date of the contract is as follows: the terminology solution complies with FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards, a system used for the electronic exchange of health information and which applies higher thresholds for the quality of clinical data. Colin Henderson, Chief Industry Officer at DXC UK, commented: “Speaking a common language is key to integrating healthcare and improving patient care. This agreement is an important step forward for the NHS in promoting interoperability by providing common terminology in national, regional and local health ecosystems. You may decide that no information about you will be shared or used for any purpose that goes beyond providing your own treatment or care. If you have already registered an opt-out with your family doctor`s office to require that NHS Digital not use your confidential patient information (except for your personalized care and treatments), this will automatically be transformed into a national data opt-out on May 25, 2018.

Nicholas Oughtibridge, principled data architect at NHS Digital, said: “The unique data recording and data comparison, comparison and security has been a long-standing challenge across the NHS. Rhidian Hurle, Medical Director at NHS Wales Informatics Service – CCIO NHS Wales, adds: “Structured, standardized and clinically significant data is essential to ensure that high-quality data advances outcome improvement decisions within our health service. Implementing an NHS Wales terminology service is an important step in our vision to provide people in Wales with first-class digital health and care services that enable more efficient, effective and secure decision-making by providing access to health and health and care information that is people-centred. As of May 25, 2018, you will no longer be able to use your confidential patient information for purposes other than your own care and treatment. This choice is called the national data optimization option. If you opt for an agreement, NHS Digital will apply your opt-out from May 25, 2018. All other health and social welfare organisations must apply their opt-out until March 2020. Learn more about the national opt-out of data.
