Note
NHSX is currently consulting on the requirements for social prescribing software under its Health Systems Support Framework (HSSF). The requirements will be set out using the following headings but they will not be published until the end of 2021.
Demographic information (about me)
Presenting need (what matters to me)
Social Prescribing Intervention (what I was offered)
Outcomes (what was the result)
The HSSF data requirements focus mainly around the patient whereas this research is focused on the physical activity data which will be used to identity a suitable ‘intervention’.
