Standardisation Committee for Care Information

The Standardisation Committee for Care Information (SCCI) closed on 31 March 2017.

Responsibility for the approval of Information Standards has transferred to the Data Alliance Partnership Board  (DAPB ).

The following definition will remain in the NHS Data Model and Dictionary as it is relevant for Information Standards that were assured and approved by the Standardisation Committee for Care Information between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2017.

The Standardisation Committee for Care Information replaced the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care (ISB) on 1 April 2014.

• has delegated authority from the National Information Board (NIB) to accept Information Standards and Collections (including Extractions) (ISCEs) for health and social care
• is responsible for the need to change, deprecate and retire existing approved Information Standards and Collections (including Extractions) Notices
• takes its membership from a wide range of national bodies and Organisations involved in the provision and management of health and social care services in England. This ensures a system-wide, joined-up approach to decision-making
