Description

The SCIP is designed to address the priority data needs of Direct Care within CQC registered Residential and Community-based Adult Social Care (ASC) services. It will ensure seamless access to critical health and care information, supporting key use cases such as: • Access to care information for assessment and planning. • Safeguarding and safety alerts for health and care professionals. • Efficient transfer of records between social care providers. Beyond these core capabilities, SCIP will establish a foundation for future interoperability and evolving needs, including: • Enhanced Direct Care services, such as secure messaging and citizen access to records. • Planning, oversight, and service management, including business continuity and regulatory access. • Population health management to enable proactive and preventative care. • Research and innovation, leveraging social care data for AI and automation. Digital Social Care Record (DSCR) solutions have been assured by NHS England to meet the core functional requirements for ASC providers. Together, SCIP, DSCRs, and access to national health data systems will provide a robust, scalable, and future-proofed digital ecosystem for social care, ensuring seamless information flow and improved outcomes for individuals and care providers alike. For the purposes of this procurement, the scope is to build the first stage of the MVP for the Social Care Interoperability Platform (SCIP).
