Support neighbourhood pilot sites to address digital interoperability challenges and share best practice.
Recommendation
In order for the neighbourhood pilots to realise the potential of the innovative model of care they are trialling, the Government should support the pilot sites to address challenges with digital interoperability, for example through sharing of learning and best practise. These learnings should then be collated to support future systems to implement the model, in the event of future scaling-up. (Recommendation, Paragraph 169)
Government Response Summary
The government accepts the recommendation, stating NHS England is working with pilot sites to identify digital interoperability barriers and share learning. Insights from these pilots will be collated to inform future guidance and support the implementation of neighbourhood-based models of care if scaled up.

Accepted
The government accepts this recommendation. The government acknowledges the importance of addressing digital interoperability challenges to enable the community based mental health centre pilots to realise the full potential of the innovative care models they are testing. Effective data sharing and integration are critical to supporting joined-up care and improving outcomes. NHS England is working with pilot sites to identify barriers and share learning on digital solutions and best practice. Insights from these pilots will be collated to inform future guidance and support systems in implementing neighbourhood-based models of care, should they be scaled up. This approach will help ensure that lessons learned from the pilots strengthen future delivery and promote interoperability across health and care services.
