An Information Standards Notice (ISN) is notice of an Information Standard approved by the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care (ISB).
An Information Standards Notice was previously known as a Data Set Change Notice (DSCN).
When a health and social care ORGANISATION in England receives an Information Standards Notice, they ensure that they and their contractors comply with the standard in a reasonable time (such time defined within the Information Standards Notice).
From 01 April 2010 the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care will issue Information Standards Notices. Each one will note that “Information Standards Notice (ISNs) were previously known as Data Set Change Notices (DSCNs)”.
From 01 April 2011 the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care will no longer make reference to the term Data Set Change Notice for new notifications.
Information Standards Notices can be found on the Information Standards Board for Health and Social Care website at http://www.isb.nhs.uk/isn.This supporting information is also known by these names:
