8.2.3 What Are the Local Issues for Implementing the AIS?

A need for a small-scale proof of concept (POC) study was identified and supported by the Digital Health Lead and Head of Lancashire’s Patient Record Exchange Service (LPRES) (http://​www.​northwestsis.​nhs.​uk/​lpres/​lpres-process). The aim was to determine a set of document design principles that support the Accessible Information Standard (AIS) and to inform the Lancashire Digital Health Strategy 2015–2020. It also allowed an exploration of the potentials of RoboBraille®[11]. A further objective was to explore the possibility to automatically generate accessible formats from existing care documents. The overall purpose of the study has been to reveal the scale of adjustments necessary to automatically convert a representative sample of the most frequently used care documents. This POC should be seen in the context of increasing patient access to their health records as required by relevant European Union and subsequent UK initiatives such as the EU Digital Agenda (https://​ec.​europa.​eu/​digital-single-market/​en/​europe-2020-strategy) which establishes “the right of individuals to have their personal health information safely stored within a healthcare system accessible online”. This right is clearly not limited by an individual’s needs regarding accessibility of such information.
