The Burden Advice and Assessment Service (BAAS) is provided by NHS Digital.
The Burden Advice and Assessment Service offers advice, guidance and support for the health and social care system (both nationally and locally) on minimising the burden and bureaucracy of data collection, freeing up staff time to care.
The Burden Advice and Assessment Service:
- assesses burden and provides recommendations to minimise the burden involved in new and existing information standards, data collections and extractions
- engages with the health and social care system to identify and facilitate the sharing of good practice around how data is collected, collated and distributed
- encourages collaborative working to promote efficient use of technology in making the best use of information to support delivering care.
The Burden Advice and Assessment Service work in conjunction with the National Information Board (NIB) and partners across health and social care.
