Further info
Social prescribers have requested more details of an activity such as links to FAQs, videos and photographs (e.g. to help convey accessibility information). See . The Service URI gives the opportunity to link to such information. More specific links to content such as photographs will allow activity finders (including those in social prescribing software) to present a fuller picture of an activity.

Taxonomy
the OR data structure uses “” to describe the type of service delivered from a controlled/shared vocabulary. This approach is matched by the “” object in OA. ORUK (and version 2 of OR) extends the standard via link_taxonomy which supports taxonomies describing service properties other than the , such as , , organization type, . See a fuller discussion of taxonomies below. Taxonomy terms apply to these activity attributes that are important to social prescribers:

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 The requirements will be set out using the following headings but they will not be published until the end of 2021.
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’.
