We are pleased to see a growing number of social care system suppliers seeing the benefits of accelerating the adoption of information standards and joining our Standards Partnership Scheme. Ernie Digital, a supplier of a fully integrated care planning software, is the latest company to become a PRSB partner.  

Ernie Digital was developed to offer 24/7 virtual appointments with registered clinicians and provide efficient care planning, enabling logging tasks at the point of care, allowing care professionals more time for the delivery of services. 

Ernie Digital believes that joining the PRSB’s Standards Partnership Scheme and working to achieve standards conformance will help demonstrate its dedication to enabling more safe and efficient care, including evidencing attainment of the PRSB Quality Mark. The team at Ernie Digital is interested in undertaking conformance assessment against the About Me Standard, which includes the most important details that a person wants to share with professionals in health and social care. 

Adam Linden, Sales and Marketing Director at Ernie Digital, said: “We are proud to be a PRSB partner and are looking forward to working with them on their journey to adopt information standards, through which we hope to further improve our services and integrate with other systems and organisations, providing a joint approach to delivering better care.” 

Lorraine Foley, CEO at PRSB, added: “We are delighted to welcome Ernie Digital onboard as our newest partner and hear about their plans to work on achieving conformance against About Me, which is a critically important standard that makes sure that the needs of people are heard and recorded so that they receive high-quality care. This is an exciting time for social care – only through taking a collaborative approach can we further digitise services, and our team is excited to work on this with Ernie Digital.”
