This programme aims to produce a detailed catalogue and repository of current adult social care and applicable health terminology and vocabulary assets that will be published through data.digitisingsocialcare.co.uk

data.digitisingsocialcare.co.uk will provide a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) repository in three parts:

  • Datasets provides a catalogue of the requirements for national/local data collections e.g. SALT, ASC CLD

  • Data Standards provides a catalogue of reusable standards that can be applied across adult social care settings to enable interoperability

  • Reference Data provides a catalogue of glossaries, terminologies, and value sets relevant to adult social care

Alongside the delivery of a repository for adult social care standards is the development of an assured process to standardise existing information representation resources; and the capability to identify, prioritise and develop additional adult social care terminology resources. These will be published/ hosted alongside health resources with appropriate levels of access and tooling.   Work will include the detailed scoping, analysis and prioritised development for establishing requirements for adult social care (for England) SNOMED CT concepts for deployment and to enable interoperability across direct integrated care systems.
