Recommendation · source text
NHS England and NHS Digital to support delivery of information to be used within and across services to support information-sharing across geographical and service boundaries. It should be evidence-based and contain guidance for staff. The aim is to ensure that key elements of the care provided for a patient can be shared (within legal restrictions) to support practitioners who take responsibility for care, and support management of risk when patients transfer. The overall purpose is to promote timely information sharing across NHS services and reduce the risk to service users themselves, to staff and the public.
