DCB3051 IDENTITY VERIFICATION AND AUTHENTICATION STANDARD FOR DIGITAL HEALTH AND
CARE SERVICES

DCB3051 provides for a consistent approach to identity management across digital
health and care services, covering: verification, authentication and clinical
authorisation.

 * About this information standard


ABOUT THIS INFORMATION STANDARD

NHS Digital, in collaboration with NHS England and other partners, has developed
a number of digital services that will put patients/service users in charge of
their own health and care. This will enable them to manage aspects of their own
care, to contribute to the care process and reduce pressure on frontline NHS and
social care services.

These digital services contain personal information and as such it is essential
that only the correct person has access. At present, most health and care
services repeatedly require a means of verifying and authenticating an
individual’s identity.

NHS login, a national citizen identity platform from NHS Digital, enables people
to prove their identity once, in a manner which is convenient to them and they
can then use their NHS login in digital services. In doing this, NHS Digital can
build public confidence in, and encourage greater use of, local and national
digital health and care services.

A fundamental requirement of NHS login is a nationally agreed approach to
identity management for health and care, conformant with identify assurance
principles endorsed by the government. This information standard sets out this
agreed approach.

This information standard is published under section 250 of the Health and
Social Care Act 2012. An Information Standards Notice (see below) provides an
overview of scope and implementation timescales, and the other documents provide
further detail for those who have to implement the information standard.
