Consultation: Improving patient safety by bringing private healthcare and NHS information together into NHS systems (February 2020)

Summary

NHS Digital are proposing to make changes in how private healthcare data is collected and with whom it is shared. This will involve trialling the suitability of existing NHS systems for the collection of private healthcare data and bringing it into line with the standards, processes and systems used for NHS funded care.

These proposed changes are based on feedback the Acute Data Alignment Programme (ADAPt) programme has already received from a wide range of stakeholders. Wider insight from private and NHS healthcare providers, clinicians, the public and other key stakeholders is now welcomed as part of this consultation to ensure that we address any significant issues and concerns which could prevent the successful implementation of these changes.

We expect this survey will take no more than 20 minutes to complete but will vary depending on the level of detail in your response.
