Use-case profiles

Each profile describes the data elements captured at a specific stage of social care. Bar length reflects element coverage relative to the largest profile.

What this aligns with

Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014

The statutory framework for care and support, carers' support, and safeguarding. Every profile maps back to a specific Part or section of the Act.

NHS Wales and DHCW standards

Aligned with HL7 FHIR R4 profiles used by NHS Wales and Digital Health and Care Wales, so data flows across health and care without translation layers.

Welsh Language Standards

Bilingual by default. Data element names and definitions carry Cymraeg alongside English where translations are available.
