Kathy Farndon, Head of Health Information Standards and Information Governance at NHS England, said: "The necessary transformation of information standards depends on the combined efforts of the standards community. Developers and appraisers, system suppliers, health and care professionals and policy leads all have a part to play and all of our voices need to inform the commissioning, development and adoption of information standards. We see www.infostandards.org as an important resource that will support this broad community to collaborate openly and purposefully to deliver and adopt high quality, cost effective standards."
Dr Ken Lunn, Director of Information Standards Delivery at the HSCIC, said: "Openness and increased engagement with end users can only improve the development, delivery and adoption of effective information standards. Standards are essential to the delivery of improved, digitally enabled health and care services and by collaborating with the wider community we can tackle together the challenges we all face."
