Background

The Digitising Social Care (DiSC) Programme at the NHS Transformation Directorate has launched an Assured Supplier List to support Adult Social Care providers in England to buy from an assured list of Digital Social Care Records (DSCR) Solutions onboarded via the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The requirements in the DPS have been converted into Capabilities and Standards so that they fit the DCS (Digital Care Services) Framework.

This roadmap item will be developed further in future to include detailed requirements. DSCR DPS assured Suppliers will be expected to implement these requirements in their Solution at some point in the future, in line with Effective date.

A data standard consisting of a list of required reporting fields, outlining the aggregated information care providers must collect for regulatory and other reporting purposes. To provide a clear list of reporting fields to support compliance with regulatory requirements and to reduce duplication with other Adult Social Care data collections. Ultimately to reduce the reporting burden on Care Managers. To provide a clear list of information fields to be collected by providers, to enable care record standardisation across the sector and support consistency in the delivery of quality care.

Outline Plan

Digital Social Care Record DPS assured Solutions are required to implement some additional requirements in due course. These requirements have not been finalised and will be refined further, no specific timescales have yet been agreed.

Summary of Change
