The Department of Health has been working on an accreditation scheme for health and social care information. This has just been renamed The Information Standard. Information providers, including the voluntary, public and commercial sectors, that meet the criteria of The Information Standard will be entitled to place a quality mark on their information materials so people searching for health care information can easily identify it as coming from a reliable source. Datapharm is one of the organisations in the commercial sector that is the testing phase of the project.
