OL and DLF partner to support the delivery of information on daily living equipment to citizens

Opportunity Links and the Disabled Living Foundation are pleased to announce an agreement which will see DLF Data, DLF’s award winning database of daily living equipment and assistive technology, embedded within OL’s information management system, evince.

The DLF compiles and maintains the UK’s only comprehensive database of daily living equipment, DLF Data, which contains information on over 14,000 products from over 1,600 suppliers and was a winner of the 2008 eWell-Being Awards, and commended in the 2008 ICT Hub Awards.

Mark Cheverton, OL’s Managing Director, said “By making DLF Data available within evince, alongside other datasets such as NHSChoices, we can provide a single integrated system which can underpin Local Authorities delivery of a universal information service.”

Local delivery of a universal information service is a key Department of Health priority introduced as part of the social care transformation programme. By April 2011, every local authority is required to have a comprehensive universal information service available to social care budget holders and self funders to support them to make the best choices about their personalised care.

evince focuses on delivering measurable outcomes for service users through support of front-office information advisors, online self-service, and high quality back-office data management; the essential components of a universal information service.
