Review • How you can contribute to the review

  3. NHS Future Forum recommendation The Government should commission a review of the current information governance rules . . . to ensure that there is an appropriate balance between the protection of patient information and the use and sharing of information to improve patient care” NHS Future Forum, January 2012

  4. NHS Future Forum recommendation The NHS must move towards using its IT systems to share data about individual patients and service users electronically – in the interests of high quality care” NHS Future Forum, January 2012 ‘A very strong and clear message that not sharing information has the potential to do more harm than sharing it. It is also a major annoyance for patients who feel that they should not constantly have to repeat the same information about themselves as they pass through the treatment pathway’

  5. NHS Future Forum - Principles • Responsible data sharing underpins quality of care • IG is a balance between facilitating use and protecting • Data is the patient’s - need to treat their data with respect as part of respecting them • Normal presumption that all those involved in care have access with consent • An implicit deal between the service and users and a responsibility to inform on use as well as keep confidential – a key issue is that with the advent of electronic records – and a changing model of care provision – we need to renegotiate the social contract between the public and services

  6. IG Review Panel • Panel – 15 members • Process of selection – key areas were identified and then relevant organisations were approached for suggestions • Members appointed in their own right not as representatives • Monthly meetings • Additional evidence gathering sessions

  7. IG Review Process • Timetable – intention to feed into NHS Constitution consultation for October • Interim report and then final report Dec 2012 / Jan 2013 • Secretariat – currently 3 staff • Steering group – 3 & staff

  8. IG Review Draft Scope • Still to be agreed • Key issue to address concerns Consent and ensuring that all activities have a secure basis in law. • IG in the new landscape – how to have effective internal and system wide IG • Specific cross-sector IG issues affecting individuals and organisations

  9. Consent and lawful processing • when is explicit consent needed? • what is needed for valid implied consent? • are there activities that need a secure legal basis but for which consent is not appropriate or feasible? • how should they be supported in law? • the consent process – how to seek consent and what to record • implementation through technical architecture

  10. IG in the new landscape Health & Social care Act 2012 changes • IG roles and responsibilities of organisations • Monitoring and reporting: CQC • Managing and advising on IG: Information Centre (IC), NHS Commissioning Board, Department of Health • Responsibility for: • Public health data flows - Public Health England (DH) & LAs • Commissioning data flows: NHS CB • Adult Social Care data flows: DH, LAs, DWP • Central data collection & Honest Broker services - IC

  11. Moving forward: IG levers • Contract Terms with providers and the oversight management and enforcement of contractual provisions • Information Standards to the extent they are applicable to information governance but they have the benefit of being health and social care system wide • CQC registration criteria – currently limited scope in relation to enforcement - future role for NIGC? • Legal enforcement through the Information Commissioner’s Office in relation to the Data Protection Act 1998

  12. Evidence gathering themes • Linkage and identifiability • Patient and Public rights in law – EU Regulation and what services need to tell people • Workforce education, training and regulation • Issues related to genetic and genome information • Issues related to new and emerging technologies • Direct care, incl sharing across H & SC and with independent sector • Commissioning • Public Health • LA / Adult, Children and Family Social care uses including safeguarding • Research • Consent

  13. Next steps • Careful thought to working out the practicalities of change • Collaboration & partnership • Future approach to IG needs to promote excellence in health and social care • Consistency of approach across health and social care, research and public health
