NHS National Knowledge Service
The Department of Health and the NHS already produce, procure and commission knowledge for patients and staff based on research, data and experience. This knowledge, however, is unconnected and difficult to find for the busy clinician or anxious patient.
The mission of the National Knowledge Service is to ensure that all these sources of knowledge are brought together to let patients and professionals base their decisions on best current knowledge. To do this the National Knowledge Service has three strategies: developing common standards for the production and procurement of knowledge; mobilising the knowledge so that there is a common core of knowledge integrated in every patient record and care pathway; developing and implementing the technical standards and solutions to make these objectives possible.
