NHS Connecting for Health is the health IT initiative of the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). It was established in April 2005 and aims to provide better patient care and improved health outcomes through the use of information technology. The initiative seeks to achieve these goals by introducing a range of tools, standards and services which are designed to support healthcare professionals and organisations in delivering safer, more efficient, cost-effective and patient-centred care.

The initiative has developed a number of projects to help improve NHS data sharing, reduce duplication, increase efficiency, enhance decision making and improve patient experience. These include:

• Electronic Patient Record System – This system allows clinicians to access patient records electronically, reducing time spent searching for paper records or retyping them onto computer systems. It also helps reduce errors due to duplication or transcription mistakes.

• National Programme for IT – This programme enables a nationwide network of linked clinical systems that allows healthcare professionals to share clinical information between different trusts.

• Secure Access – This service provides secure access to patient information from any location with internet access. This means that clinicians can easily access vital medical data while working away from their primary practice or hospital setting.

• Primary Care Directories – These directories provide healthcare professionals with up-to-date information about local primary care services such as GPs and dentists. They also help patients find appropriate providers in their local area who offer the services they require.

NHS Connecting for Health is one of the most ambitious programmes ever undertaken by the NHS and is seen as an essential part of improving both quality of care and public confidence in the health service. Through its projects it seeks to make sure that all patients have access to safe, timely and accurate information about their care regardless of where they are being treated.
