Hi Geoff yes have created an ISA across Co Durham and Tees Valley. Firstly we have an overarching ISA that has been created for the various different elements of the Local HealthCare Economy to sign up to - this is all about agreements in principle about what should/ shouldn't be shared, recognition of National standards, etc Then last year we also created an ISA specifically for web-ICE which although still somewhat generic in structure (deliberately as the template can then be used for other similar systems). The PCTs and GP practices have then been asked to complete an Appendix sheet at the end of the policy document and return to the Acute Trust hosting the system that effectively commits them to adhering to the policy and providing contact details for use in the event that anyone should have been found to mis-use of the system. It is intended that this document also covers a few users who have open-access to the system (eg one acute Trust accessing it's neighbours system where there is shared care, PCT community hospitals acting as intermediate care centres, etc). Would think that there would be no problems sharing these policy docs with you if you are interested. The 'vehicle' for forming and agreeing this policy was a regional info Gov group. Would guess you have one similar. regards Dave Bottoms Teespath Programme Manager |
