Congenica clinical decision support software complies with required DCB0129
NHS standard for Clinical Risk Management
The provision and deployment of digital health software and IT systems within the UK National Health Service (NHS) can deliver substantial benefits to patients through the timely provision of complete and correct information to healthcare professionals. However, failure or incorrect use of such systems have the potential to cause harm to those patients that they are intended to benefit.
To assure the clinical safety of digital health IT systems and software, health organisations within the NHS are required by the NHS Digital Data Coordination Board (DCB) to ensure that software and IT systems comply with DCB0129 – a clinical risk management standard evidencing the clinical safety of software products.

In the procurement of a Health IT System the Health Organisation MUST ensure that the Manufacturer and the Health IT System complies with DCB0129

At Congenica, both our company and clinical decision support software comply with the DCB0129 clinical risk management standard, helping to assure the clinical safety of NHS health IT software and enable NHS organisations to achieve compliance with their required clinical risk management standards such as DCB0160.
“As part of Congenica’s continued commitment to patient safety and product quality, our company and software now comply with the DCB0129 standard for clinical risk management of health IT systems - a requirement for digital products in the NHS.”
