We have heard that too often the information isn’t available to diabetes healthcare professionals when they need it or how they want to access it – it takes too long to bring together all the data needed for a review in an outpatient clinic, self-management data from devices has to be accessed through many different applications – it’s not always brought together in one place. 

The PRSB is dedicated to the development and implementation of standards in health and social care to ensure that information in health and social care records can be accessed by the right people, in the right place, at the right time. It aims to improve accuracy and completeness of data by setting out how data should be structured and coded so that it can be collected once as part of clinical processes and used many times.

PRSB has developed the Diabetes Record Information Standard that sets out the information that health and care professionals have said they need to best advise a person with diabetes and the information recorded by the person with diabetes during self-management that the person may wish to share with health and care professionals.
We’ve been working with pilots to road test the standard in real world environments and we will cover the results of this work in this session.
