Bibliographical note
Funding Information:In the NHS in England, manufacturers of health information technology have been required to submit clinical safety cases since 2013. However, this is a domain with a narrow technological focus and limited organisational support. Safety cases for wider health services (rather than just the technology) have been advocated to the best of our knowledge for the first time by one of us in a publication in 2006. Building on this conceptual work, the safety case concept was introduced into the Safer Clinical Systems (SCS) programme, funded by The Health Foundation, starting in 2008.
