CASPA call for National Care Information Service
The Care Software Providers Association (CASPA) are calling for the Department of Health and Social Care to back a social-care led National Care Information Service to enable greater interoperability for social care records. Many care systems already include high clinical, governance and interoperability standards. A Government funded and backed central information service would help to ensure that it is easy to share information appropriately in future. This could support initiatives such as Neighbourhood Teams where community nurses and careworkers can work together and share information easily.
