Interweave Achieves Conformance With the PRSB’s Core Information Standard
We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the Professional Records Standards Body (PRSB) Core Information Standards conformance. Becoming conformant with the Core Information Standard for shared care records, enables a more consistent way of supporting people as they move around care settings.
Shared care records help ensure that our health and care information, including medications, allergies, test results, can be easily accessed by different health and care organisations, resulting in more connected care. An accessible, more joined-up view of the person’s information helps deliver more efficient services by avoiding the need to repeat medical or social care history, appointments, and admissions.
Achieving this conformance allows Interweave to be at the forefront of data standardisation. It does not only symbolise a commitment to supporting interoperability between the many health and social care systems, but one that denotes their dedication towards the national goal of delivering nationally shared patient records.
We believe that PRSB’s well-respected and increasingly recognised conformance accreditation will allow us to both retain and attract new partners to their shared care record solution.
Lee Rickles, CIO at Interweave, said: “At Interweave, we understand the importance of standards. When working with PRSB, their standards support us to build transformative solutions which meet the needs of our partners and enhance the patient experience.
“By implementing the Core Information Standard, we aim to deliver the right data to people who care for others, to support them in providing high quality standards of care and improve people’s health and care outcomes.”
Lorraine Foley, CEO at the PRSB, said: “We’ve all heard many stories on how ineffective information sharing between clinicians contributes to poor outcomes for people. If we are to achieve informed, timely, effective, and integrated health and care for all, we must start with ensuring that the person’s health and care information is available to the professionals involved in their care, wherever they are receiving care. We are delighted to announce that the Interweave Exchange solution supports the requirements of the Core Information Standard which signals a significant advance in the consistency and quality of data sharing.
“Huge congratulations to the Interweave team for achieving the PRSB Quality Mark and moving the dial forward on technical implementation, a first.”
