Healthcare Record Source Layers

This page is the canonical routing map for source-layer labels used in healthcare-recording synthesis tables. Use it when a visible wiki table says "GMC", "NMC", "provider governance", "NHS information standards", "records-management code", or similar shorthand.

The Source Register remains the source of truth for provenance. This page prevents source-layer labels from becoming unexplained acronyms or unsupported prose.

Source-Layer Map

Source-layer label	Use for	Canonical page	Boundary
GMC medical professional duties	Doctor record keeping, consent, confidentiality, candour, patient communication, decisions, and review responsibility.	GMC Record Keeping and Professional Duties	Professional duty evidence, not provider governance or product compliance.
NMC professional duties	Nursing, midwifery, and nursing-associate record keeping, risk/action recording, attribution, date/time, and security.	NMC Record Keeping and Professional Duties	Professional duty evidence, not a full care-record content model.
HCPC professional duties	Allied-health and HCPC registrant record keeping across professional settings.	HCPC Record Keeping and Professional Duties	Profession-specific content still depends on role, setting, and local policy.
GPhC pharmacy duties	Pharmacy consent, prescribing, confidentiality, record use, and person-centred pharmacy service evidence.	GPhC Record Keeping and Pharmacy Duties	Pharmacy professional evidence, not GP foundation or GP Connect assurance.
Provider governance	Registered-provider governance records, secure/accurate/complete/contemporaneous care records, and England CQC duties.	CQC Provider Governance	England CQC evidence; devolved provider duties need nation-specific sources.
Candour	Incident disclosure, apology, written follow-up, correspondence, organisational candour, and professional candour.	Candour Source Layer	Candour duties differ by nation and role.
NICE shared decision making and medicines safety context	Shared-decision-making workflow, medicines/prescribing context, and recording of risks, alternatives, preferences, and medicine decisions.	NICE Shared Decision Making and Medicines Safety	Clinical guidance context, not a product conformance route.
Data protection and individual rights	UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018, subject access, accuracy, rectification, controller/processor accountability, and health-data rights.	Data Protection and Health-Record Rights	Does not by itself satisfy common law confidentiality, professional duties, or deceased-record access.
DSA and DPIA	Deployment-specific data-sharing, lawful-processing, data-flow, controller/processor, confidentiality, transparency, retention, and subject-rights artefacts.	Data Protection and Health-Record Rights	A signed DSA or DPIA supports information-governance readiness only for its stated scope and date; it is not DSIC, GP Connect, or clinical-safety proof.
Records management and amendment practice	Retention, disposal, archive, legal hold, migration, correction, annotation, access-route separation, and nation-specific records codes.	Records Management and Amendment Practice	Needs local policy and record-type mapping.
PRSB and provenance	Record-content standards, Core Information Standard, provenance, implementation support, and conformance context.	PRSB Standards	Product/deployment proof still needs certificate, scope, configuration, and customer artefacts.
NHS information standards	NHS Standards Directory, information standards, DAPB/DAB, SNOMED CT, GP Connect, MESH, ITK3, and related standards surfaces.	NHS Standards Directory and DHSC Standards Direction	Standards applicability is not supplier implementation proof.
Clinical safety DCB0129/DCB0160	Supplier manufacture safety, deployment/use safety, hazard ownership, clinical safety officer roles, residual risk, and change control for health IT that can affect care.	Clinical Safety DCB0129 and DCB0160	Clinical-safety evidence is standard, supplier, component, workflow, and deployment specific.
Public records and access routes	Public records, archive/transfer, AHRA, FOI/EIR, AMRA, deceased-record access, and route separation.	UK Healthcare Recording Legal and Professional Position	Public-records and access law are not interchangeable routes.

Project-Wide Link Rule

When a source-layer label appears in a visible synthesis table, link it to its canonical page or section. Create a new page only when the label is repeated, decision-relevant, or needed to explain a source boundary that would otherwise be opaque.

Do not create a page for every source ID. Source IDs belong in Sources. Source-layer pages exist to explain a reusable evidence layer and to route readers to the correct canonical synthesis.
