FAQ
HSCN stands for the Health and Social Care Network. It is the new, government-run data network (replacing the former N3) that connects all NHS organisations and employees across England.
It’s the way health and social care organisations connect to the new NHS platform where they can collaborate and access and share healthcare data and patient information. They can connect by using an existing PSN, working with an organisation that already has an HSCN connection, or from a connectivity provider on the marketplace of NHS-approved suppliers.
N3 is the broadband network (being replaced by HSCN) that connects health and social care organisations, allowing them to share information. Compared to the HSCN, the N3 is slower, costs more, doesn’t support the latest technologies and offers a limited number of ways to connect: directly with the HSCIC or through a commercial aggregator; the N3 is being phased out completely.
It refers to the Community of Interest Network (CoIN). This is a private network that enables regional collaboration between GPs, care providers, pharmacies and other health organisations, which have similar networking requirements and operational practices. They can share information and access healthcare data, applications and services.
