Aim & scope of the Vendor Forum For professional standards to be widely adopted, they need to be implemented in information systems. PRSB is a care professionals’ body not a technical body. BCS Health and techUK can offer professional and trade association views, but more is needed. There is currently a wide chasm between published professional standards and anything that can be meaningfully asserted to be compliant. We need to reach a level of dialogue between PRSB and implementers that supports agile development.

PRSB conformance questions What does “conformance” mean for implementing professional standards in IT systems? How do you bridge the gap between generic standards and testable implementations? What capabilities would PRSB need to support the level of dialogue needed for agile implementation? Is a certification scheme viable? (even if it follows techUK recommendations) Can a Vendor Forum lead to a consensus on implementation guidance or at least agreeing what the issues are?

Workshop breakout questions (1) What can industry get from PRSB? What can industry give to PRSB? How should the financial model work for industry participation in PRSB? Is it practical to differentiate multinationals and large corporates from SMEs and sole traders? How can vendors advise PRSB about implementation requirements? How can PRSB respond to implementation queries and issues?

Workshop breakout questions (2) What does “conformance” to the standards mean? (e.g. AoMRC headings) What are the barriers to adopting professional standards in IT systems? What educational needs exist to enable professional standards implementation? How frequently should the vendor forum interact with PRSB and in what form (virtual/physical)?

Next steps Volunteers for group for methodology (development, implementation, criteria for technical assurance – open and transparent). Different vendor types have different needs/contributions. Need both grand plan and incremental use cases: prioritise clinically important content. PRSB marketing – demonstrate value to vendors to justify participation. NHS Trust engagement via CCIO network. Converge with GPSoC.

Conclusion Thank you for participating Follow-up s also welcomed BCS Health and PRSB will come back with proposals We look forward to building the relationship with industry
