Responsibility for publication of Information Standards Notices lies with the Data Assurance Board (DAB).
An Information Standards Notice was previously known as a Data Set Change Notice (DSCN).
An Information Standards Notice (ISN) is either a notice of an:
- Information Standard approved by the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care (ISB)
- Information Standard and Data Collection (Including Extractions) (ISCE) accepted by the Standardisation Committee for Care Information (SCCI) for formal approval by the Department of Health and Social Care or NHS England
- Information Standard and Data Collection (Including Extractions) approved by the Data Coordination Board (DCB).
When a health and social care ORGANISATION in England receives an Information Standards Notice, they ensure that they and their contractors comply with the notice as specified.
Further information on Information Standards Notices, see the NHS England website at: Governance of information standards.
Details of all published Information Standards Notices can be found at the NHS England website: at Latest activity for information standards.
