Requirements and use Cases (page 1 of 11) in Requirements and use Cases (chapter 4 of 10) within Adult Social Care Digital Social Care Record: Minimum Operational Data Standard (MODS): Implementation Guidance

The NHS Transformation Directorate's Digitising Social Care (DiSC) Programme has introduced an Assured Supplier List to support Adult Social Care providers in England in selecting from a verified roster of Digital Social Care Records (DSCR) Solutions. These solutions have been integrated through the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), with its specifications transformed into Capabilities and Standards to align with the Digital Care Services (DCS) Framework.

The Adult Social Care Record (MODS) is a critical component of these data standards. It encompasses data classes and data elements that outline the requirements for how information should be recorded from individuals receiving care from a CQC regulated social care service.

In the process of establishing the MODS, a series of use cases and requirements were identified:

• Use case 1: Consistency of care to an individual when a temporary worker needs to step in
• Use case 2: Communicating an individual's care needs between local authority and care provider at the point of commissioning
• Use case 3: Consistency of care and recording across a multi-disciplinary team
• Use case 4: Providing consistent support in hospital and at home for an individual with an existing care plan
• Use case 5: Implementing a new social care system
• Use case 6: Care provider moving to a digital system
• Use case 7: Sharing elements of care planning information across many systems – components or "building blocks" of care plan
• Use case 8: DHSC receiving information from local authorities and care providers
• Personas
• Additional use cases
