Maintaining NHS information governance and data security while enhancing patient care

NHS Information Governance and Data Security

Following the government's drive to deliver a higher quality care environment, there is increased pressure on NHS Trusts and clinical teams to provide faster response, increasing the speed of diagnosis and the efficacy of treatment. ISEEU Global helped Frimley Park NHS Foundation Trust achieve these aims whilst maintaining data security and NHS information governance standards.

NHS information governance and clinical challenges

Increased heavy case loads and distributed organisations can oftenhamper the efficiency of clinical leads by their inability to gain secure, real-time remote access to all patient data. The need to easily and rapidly share information with other clinicians or healthcare professionals has led many NHS trusts to invest heavily in IT, which in itself presents a number of challenges. Not least of these is the serious concern around data breaching, particularly where security and confidentiality are so crucial.

Testimonial: ISEEU enables remote decision making

Dr Loua Shaikh, Consultant Intensivist and Anaesthetist at Frimley Park NHS Foundation Trust in Surrey identified the need for the solution within the Critical Care department:

"With a host of servers collecting patient data from x-rays, ventilators, infusion pumps and heart monitors, a whole network of information was becoming digitised. The next step was to get this data to clinicians swiftly, whatever their location, in order to aid decision making.

"Effectively the situation and care of a patient can change at any time. A consultant may not be present in the hospital when they are required to aid decision making. With the right solution a consultant can effectively be available 24/7 without the high costs of having them constantly onsite."
