The PRSB and INTEROPen extends partnership

The PRSB is also working closely with INTEROPen to provide a view on professional and patient priorities

The inaugural meeting was held in London, to outline the mission, vision and terms of reference agreed by the parties involved. INTEROPen is working closely with NHS England, which is conducting a strategic needs assessment for organisations looking to progress interoperability. The PRSB is also working closely with INTEROPen – providing a view on professional and patient priorities as agreed with its member organisations. (The PRSB priorities will also feed into the NHS England work on assessing strategic needs for interoperability.)

As part of its work to advance interoperability, INTEROPen is planning to select a topic area, for example ambulance handover, to champion and see through to implementation.

Moving forward, the PRSB will be working more closely in partnership with INTEROpen, to engage our existing audiences and raise awareness about the importance of standards and interoperability in health and social care. We will be a regular contributor to the INTEROPen newsletter and other communication initiatives. For more information visit www.interopen.org or follow on Twitter @INTEROPenAPI.

Successful teams have the functional skills to lead a task, benefit from diversity, and are led in a way that creates time and space for reflection; the ability to take stock periodically, of the task and of the way in which the team is engaged in delivering it. Your stakeholder analysis [HYPERLINK] should help you assemble the most appropriate team and identify how the team interacts and relates to other stakeholders like sponsors, services users, etc.

The variation in the size, both in terms of population served and numbers of constituent organisations, and of complexity, between Integrated Care Systems, precludes the possibility of any prescriptive guidance on the way in which this team is assembled.
