CfH prepares care record leaders
28 February 2007
Connecting for Health is planning to begin the implementation of the Care Record Service (CRS) in the next few weeks
A spokesperson for CfH, the agency in charge of England's NHS National Programme for IT (NPfIT), told GC News that trusts acting as early adopters are likely to begin using the CRS in the spring.
"There's a process to go through in identifying early adopters," the spokesperson said. "There will probably be a number announced through the year.
"We've put out a request to primary care trusts to see if they are interested and had a quite big response. Now we have to go through a process to make sure the data is ready."
The exact number of early adopters is not yet clear, but will probably amount to "a handful", according to the spokesperson.
A guidance document published in February 2007 says the early adopters are being selected on the following criteria: - a suitable community that has a critical mass of a single GP system supplier;
- a critical mass of practices meeting data quality standards and technology requirements;
- a suitable acute sector or unscheduled care provider that is willing to participate in the initial stages of the implementation.
The CRS, one of the prime elements of NPfIT, will deliver an integrated electronic record of demographic data and clinical information on patients for the NHS in England. A guidance document published in February 2007 says the early adoption phase is due to run through this year, and will be evaluated by an external body appointed by CfH in conjunction with the University of Birmingham.
The full roll out is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2008.
