Data sharing agreement

Definition

NHS England Transformation Directorate: Information Governance Framework for Integrated Health and Care: Shared Care Records (Sep 2021)

A DSA sets out a common set of rules to be adopted by the various organisations involved in a data sharing operation. These could well form part of a contract between organisations. It is good practice to have a DSA in place, and to review it regularly, particularly where information is to be shared on a large scale, or on a regular basis.
