Related standards This standard relates to: * [Core Information Standard (CIS)](https://theprsb.org/core-information-standard-v2-0/) * [DCB0160: Clinical Risk Management](http://www.digital.nhs.uk/isce/publication/dcb0160) - its application in the deployment and use of health IT systems
Dependencies This standard needs to be reviewed and implemented alongside [SNOMED](https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/information-standards/information-standards-and-data-collections-including-extractions/publications-and-notifications/standards-and-collections/scci0034-snomed-ct) where appropriate. Where this is not appropriate, national coding from the [NHS Data Model and Dictionary](https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/information-standards/information-standards-and-data-collections-including-extractions/publications-and-notifications/standards-and-collections/scci0052-dictionary-of-medicines-and-devices-dm-d) has been used. The recording supplier system must be compliant with the SNOMED CT codes set out within the Maternity Record Standard Data Model Specification. Providers should become compliant with the [DCB3009 Healthy Child Programme](https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/information-standards/information-standards-and-data-collections-including-extractions/publications-and-notifications/standards-and-collections/dcb3009-healthy-child-programme) when recording information which ultimately needs to be held within a baby’s record.
Assurance This standard has been approved by the [Data Alliance Partnership Board (DAPB)](https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/information-standards/information-standards-and-data-collections-including-extractions/data-alliance-partnership-board) and published as an information standard notice (ISN).
