Applications
Applications are the use of the standard when applied to a particular workflow or care journey. The application of BaRS describes how particular operations and business flows map to the underlying technical capabilities and patterns of the Core elements of the BaRS along with the specific payloads (the information to be moved).
This page provides a catalogue of implementation guides that have been developed to support specific use cases. These application specific implementation guides confirm:
- the scope
- any requirements in addition to BaRS Core
- the specific payload for that use case.
These guides are designed to be used in conjunction with the documentation for BaRS Core.

Introduction
Overview
This page provides guidance for implementing the Booking and Referral Standard (BaRS) specifically for the NHS 111 (telephony) to Emergency Department (ED, also known as Accident and Emergency or A&E) and Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) use cases. It should be used alongside the BaRS Core implementation guide and Payload Definitions when developing to the standard.
Data model endorsements
The referral information data model is based on user research with NHS 111 service providers, 999 Ambulance Service Trusts and clinical and administrative Emergency Department staff. We carried out this research in parallel with the Professional Records Standards Body (PRSB) who examined the wider brief of 'referrals from NHS 111 to any other care setting'.
We worked alongside PRSB to ensure data transferred from 111 to ED is clinically relevant and safe. PRSB have defined and endorsed an information model which works for both the senders (111) and receivers (ED) when referrals are made between the respective services. This endorsement provides the necessary confidence that solutions built to the standard will be both fit for purpose and safe.
