An innovative standard for child health that helps everyone involved in caring for children share information using standardised paperless digital records.

The PRSB has produced standards for child health records to support the Healthy Child Programme and its prevention agenda. The standard spells out what information on screening tests, immunisations and developmental milestones should be accessible to make sure that children receive appropriate care. The goal is that everyone involved in a child’s care, including parents, will in the future have secure access to a standardised set of paperless, digital child health records.
