This national information standard, which specifies the core record content to support the provision of high-quality co-ordinated care at the end of life, was published 20th March 2012. The standard facilitates consistent recording of information by health and social care agencies and, with the consent of the individual, supports safe and effective management and sharing of information. The standard was developed by the National End of Life Care Programme and the Department of Health and approved by the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care. Implementation of the standard will primarily be through Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination Systems, and it will ensure the correct and effective use of data in these systems. This guidance, developed with health and social care professionals, aims to support all staff who use electronic or paper-based systems.
