Project objectives
1. Business Case
Adult Social Care organisations must be able to share information with and receive information from the National Health Service to plan, monitor and administer care. This includes Personal Identifiable Information relating to a service user.
The Health and Care Act 2012 s250 (1) states that 'The Secretary of State or [NHS England] may prepare and publish an information standard.' In practice this standard is set by the NHS and the information standards cover:
• technical - such as relating to messaging
• data - defining the structure and type of information to be recorded and submitted as a data set or a clinical terminology code set for example
• information governance - relating to policies, procedures or guidelines on information processing for example
The NHS' Data Alliance Partnership Board (DAPB) assures the quality of information standards. Their standard for e-mail communication is DCB1596.
Adult Social Care organisations must select one of two methods to comply with these standards:
Implement an already compliant service such as NHSmail, Office 365 or Google Workspace for all staff at your organisation.
Demonstrate your own service is compliant with the secure email standard by following the secure email accreditation process.
