Implement a single, trusted system for collecting clinical and administrative data
Recommendation
The current ‘dual’ system of collecting data in the NHS in separate administrative and multiple clinical systems is wasteful and anachronistic. A single approach to collecting data should be adopted, which clinicians can trust and use and from which information about both clinical and administrative performance can be derived.
Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
No specific policy or system implementing a single approach to data collection in the NHS, designed to be trusted by clinicians and derive both clinical and administrative performance information, has been identified in the provided official sources. General search results on GOV.UK do not provide specific evidence of action.
