Description

We hope that by sharing our experiences of setting robust standards for healthcare information, supported by a virtual network and resource hub, we can help other countries as well as other organisations in the UK to adopt robust information standards. Through this work we will set out a package of support that other countries can use such as:
- establish a virtual network of countries who can share approaches, successes and
challenges and learn from one another
- tell the story of how the NHS has implemented high quality standards
- establish an index of resources, published under the Open Government Licence, that other
countries can interrogate, use and localise
We will also signal an intention to collaborate through this network to develop a framework of standards that any nation can use to assess how well they are doing.
Timescales
The key milestones for the delivery of this commitment are:
- website established (October 2013)
- participation in the virtual network by 15 member states and civil society organisations (June
2014)
- accreditation system established (Autumn 2014)
Additional milestones will be developed with civil society organisations and international
partners.
