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
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
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
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)

What’s in it for me as a patient?
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
My hospital records are not far behind
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
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!!!!!
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
Through shared standards, the PRSB aims to bring the pieces together
So that when care records are developed - and systems enable them - everyone is happy, including me!
