DAPB4085: Diabetes Record Information Standard

This standard commissioned by NHS England and developed in partnership with the Professional Record Standards Body (PRSB) is to define the information needed to support a person's diabetes management, including self-management, across care settings. 

The Diabetes Record Information Standard defines the information needed to support a person’s diabetes management. It includes information that could be recorded by health and care professionals or the person themselves that is relevant to the diabetes care of the person and should be shared between different care providers.

The Diabetes Self-Management Information Standard defines the information that could be recorded by the person themselves (or their carer) at home (either using digital apps or medical technology, e.g. continuous glucose monitors or insulin pumps) and shared with health and care professionals. (This is a subset of the Diabetes Record Information Standard for a specific use case)

This information standard is published under section 250 of the Health and Social Care Act 2012. An Information Standards Notice (see below) provides an overview of scope and implementation timescales, and the requirements specification provides further detail for those who have to implement the information standard.
