White Paper 2.15 “We will ensure the right data is collected by the Health and

Social Care Information Centre to enable people to exercise choice. We will seek to centralise all data returns in the Information Centre, which will have lead responsibility for data collection and assuring the data quality of those returns, working with other interested parties such as Monitor and the Care Quality Commission. We will also review data collections with a view to reducing burdens, as outlined in chapter 5. The forthcoming Health Bill will contain provisions to put the Information Centre on a firmer statutory footing, with clearer powers across organisations in the health and care system”.

6.7 “Placing the Health and Social Care Information Centre, currently a Special Health Authority, on a firmer statutory footing, with powers over other organisations in relation to information collection;…”

Five Key Themes

Work in progress• Development of the Adult Care Support Record guidance• Social Care Standards workstream (on hold)• Engagement with the CAF projects and the Putting

People First Team• The National Adult Social Care Intelligence Service

(NASCIS) and Business Intelligence• TRIPS• Supporting Data Quality • Looking at information for the Public • Information Governance – supporting implementation of

the SCRG

Work in Progress ..cont.• Working with:

– ADASS S&P and ADASS IMG – Suppliers– Connecting for Health– DCLG– And others

• Developing areas of work related to: - Children and Young People - Transition - Young Carers - Family records

• A ‘Zero Based’ Review of Social Care Information and Intelligence Needs (implementation 2012 onwards)

Looking to the Future

• Increasing involvement of the client/customer will change focus of requirements (and solutions delivered)

• Focus on outcomes and personalised services will impact on measures and metrics

• Challenges in commissioning new market places and new services• Increasing use (and development) of technology will bring new ways of

working• Opportunity to use emerging technology to address tensions between

coding and narrative• Need to find ways to engage with self funders• Personalised health budgets will bring new challenges• Creation of an aCSR will lead to a Social Care NMDS and a Data
