Information standard to close the communication gaps in end of life care

A national information standard, which specifies the core record content to support the provision of high-quality co-ordinated care at the end of life has been published. It 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.
This bulletin is brought to you by Library and Knowledge Services. It aims to keep you up-to-date with patient services issues. At the beginning of each month, a librarian will update the bulletin with relevant information published in the preceding month. If there are areas you think we also need to cover, please let us know.
