Document naming standard survey now open
The PRSB would like to invite you to participate in a survey to help us develop a standard for naming documents, to ensure they are indexed properly and can be navigated quickly and safely.
As the volume of digital data used in health and care continues to increase, it may be held in several different clinical and non-clinical systems, brought together as a patient’s digital care record. This digital data will include both current and old notes generated during a period where a person was receiving care. All of these documents must be properly indexed, to make sure they can be safely retrieved by those who need them in any care setting.
In order to produce a standard that meets the needs of health and care professionals, patients and document managers, the PRSB has brought together relevant stakeholders to examine some of these existing models. The project is being managed by the Royal College of Physicians’ Health Informatics Unit (HIU), in conjunction with the PRSB. The HIU has worked with stakeholders to develop a draft model which is now available for comment. You can participate in our survey here.
