DATA SET CHANGE NOTICE 38/2002 Reference: CP30/02 - DG1065/08/02 v1.6 Subject: Requirements for Accreditation RFA99 V1.2 Type of Change: Revision of NHS data standards Effective Date: April 2003 Reason for Change: The Requirements for Accreditation RFA99 V1.2 consultation document. Background: In view of the anticipated changes in requirements for systems across Primary Care, the Primary Care Information Management Board (PCIMB) has had to consider how the principles of RFA should be developed to support those changes. It was felt inappropriate at this time to release a major new version for RFA2001 and more appropriate to include the core elements that had been intended for RFA2001 in Version 2.1 of RFA99. It is intended that these standards will form the minimum for GP computer systems. Information on Requirements For Accreditation for GP computer systems can be found at www.standards.nhsia.nhs.uk/spg/health.htm. The Requirements for Accreditation for GP computer system revisions have highlighted some data standards which need amendment. The following are the changes to the NHS Data Dictionary & Manual to reflect this.
