The purpose of the consultation was to assist the safe and consistent implementation of pathology information standards across the NHS by identifying improvements in the PBCL update and implementation approach. It was designed to gain the opinions of laboratory, middleware and GP system suppliers and their users by asking about: the potential for a draft standards review and discussion opportunity, units of measure standardisation and Read code V2 (used in PBCL) withdrawal approaches desired file format(s) for future releases of primary care pathology data standards. It is the intention of the Diagnostics Data Service that the results of the consultation should influence how the final PBCL release (scheduled for April 2016) and future primary care pathology results data standards are developed, released and scheduled for implementation for primary care results messaging. 4 Background National standards for electronic communication of primary care pathology results data and message format have been used in England since 2002 for electronic communications between laboratory IT systems to GP IT systems. These standards, Read terms and codes and EDIFACT (United Nations / Electronic Data Interchange For Administration Commerce and Transport) message format are still in place today. Both are becoming increasingly unfit for purpose as they are limited in their ability to change and ‘keep up with’ rapidly-evolving clinical practice, data-sharing requirements and technical environments.

Awareness was also raised by articles placed on professional body journals during the consultation period. The questions were developed within the HSCIC Diagnostics Data Service and were based upon areas highlighted in previous feedback, stakeholder engagement and business analysis. The consultation was also reviewed by HSCIC communications experts to ensure it conformed to HSCIC guidelines. 6 Results There were 83 respondents to the consultation in total though not all questions were answered by every respondent. Respondents were given the opportunity to provide contact details if they wished to receive further communications on the consultation outcomes. 92% of respondents provided their name and 93% provided their email address The responses per question are summarised below.
