PURPOSE
We collect information about you (your personal data) from our Services which includes information about your referrals, assessments, diagnoses, activities (for example, taking a blood pressure test) and, in some cases, your answers to questionnaires.
We do this in order to assess the effectiveness of our services so that we can provide you with the best possible service and ensure that we can continually improve our services.
SHARING YOUR DATA WITH NHS DIGITAL
Your data will be securely sent to NHS Digital, which is the central organisation that receives the data from all publicly funded Community Services across England. NHS Digital removes all identifying details and combines the data we send with the data sent by other care providers, to form the Community Services Data Set (CSDS).
The Community Services Data Set is used to produce anonymised / pseudonymised reports that only show summary numbers of clients referred to different types of services. It is impossible to identify individuals in the reports, but the reports will help to improve the services that we provide to our clients.
LEGAL BASIS FOR SHARING
Under the UK GDPR, our lawful basis for processing this information is Article 6 (1) (c), which relates to processing necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject. Our lawful basis for processing special category data are the UK GDPR Article 9 (2) (h) and Schedule 1, Part 1 (2) (2) (f) of the Data Protection Act 2018.
WHAT BENEFITS OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DATA SET (CSDS).
The benefits of the CSDS include:
- Making sure Community Services are available to all those needing the services in all areas by measuring the care that is being delivered
- Better care, through monitoring progress to allow future services to be planned
- Informing individuals about the service offered at different hospitals
- More personalised and better organised care for clients through understanding what service is needed nationally.
