The Plan for Digital Health and Social Care, which consolidates a number of strategies and plans around health and social care use of digital, data and technologies to improve care, was launched by the UK Government at the end of June. The strategy is succinctly captured in the phrase ‘Digitise, Connect, Transform’, and is designed to enable interoperability and better connect health and social care. Standards that support connectivity, such as those developed by PRSB, underpin many of the plan’s ambitions.

If the plan is to be rolled out effectively, the system can hope to take advantages of benefits such as reduced admissions into care, greater emphasis on preventative action and more efficient and streamlined services. But these gains will not materialise without the surmounting of challenges associated with funding, workforce and training, and clarity around where responsibility begins and ends.

“If someone’s been working for a period of time, in a form of therapy, for instance, where there’s an agreed plan for the locality when they may present in an emergency situation … then it’s really important for us to be able to see that that information and be able to act appropriately according to that because, you know, there isn’t and there shouldn’t be a stock response to that. These plans are designed to be individualised and personalised.  All services should be giving that personalised approach to care wherever possible. And a standard such as [PCSP standard] definitely moves us closer towards being able to do that. [Not acting on agreed plans] is a key finding in terms of emergency responses over the years where responses have been inappropriate.” – Mental Health Nurse

“Following a particular plan that’s been put into place will result in much better outcomes and prevent the sort of poor outcome which would otherwise be leading to an unplanned hospital admission.” – General Practitioner
