Policy responses and statements

Name of organisation:

National Clinical Dataset Development Programme (NCDDP)

Name of policy document:

Sexual Health Data Standards Phase 1 - Consultation Document

Deadline for response:

19 January 2007

Background: The NCDDP sought feedback on five new clinical data standards for Scotland, including the 'Sexual Health Data Standards Phase 1'.

The NCDDP feel that feedback is essential since these data items and definitions will be those which will be used in any Electronic Health Record in Scotland. Systems which adhere to these data standards will be able to communicate with each other and share information (for instance between primary and secondary care and between hospitals) - this is vital to optimise the care of patients. This was an opportunity for respondents to ensure that they are fit for purpose.
