Information governance and data quality

We are experienced in the management of information governance and data quality. In preparing for NPfIT deployments, and delivering on existing legal and good practice duties, clients have a continuing workload in reviewing new guidance and applying this in their local circumstances. We are able to develop this area to ensure that undue risks are not taken with patient data and that information is shared safely and legally to improve services.

This has involved working with Caldicott Guardians and associated groups to interpret and apply relevant guidance to ensure best practice on the ground. This work includes agreeing information sharing protocols, changes to induction materials, job descriptions, contracts, and presenting briefing materials to a range of stakeholders.

We have also developed standard procedures for PCTs wishing to authorise paperless working in GP surgeries. Recently we have been working with Trusts to review the implications of the new Information Governance toolkit in order to apply this new standard.
