NHS Scotland launches medical information sharing system

The NHS National Service (NHS NSS) has launched a medical information sharing system that allows GPs (general practitioners) to share anonymous patient data for research. Data records sent include date of birth, gender, vaccination, diagnosis, and prescription medication, but are encrypted and anonymized before being sent. This information will be handled by an analyst of the health statistics.

This information is used by analysts for health statistics, and the Scottish Health Council can apply if you want to use the information for your own analysis. Researchers at charities and universities may also apply for this data, but they must apply to the independent Scottish Primary Care Information Resource Steering Group.

Unlike the UK's medical information sharing and big data analytics platform Care.data program, NHS NSS will not collect patient information on a regular basis or save it to a national database, the purpose of which is to extract data from GP surgery to NHS Digital. Owned in the central database. Instead, the program only collects data for a specific purpose, and once it is used, it will be destroyed. At the same time, NHS NSS launched a four-week information campaign, and Care.data was slammed by its failure to raise citizens' awareness of the program and its benefits. The campaign will use print, radio and digital advertising, as well as posters at GP practice, nursing homes, libraries and leisure centers to promote the new system to the public.
