“Lead clinicians or care professionals within individual
organisations will be responsible for organising and
interpreting information support of better care”
“Information and IT need to ‘work’ for the clinicians and care
professionals; suppliers of information systems are
encouraged to work with care professionals in developing
information solutions that are safe and offer benefits to
professionals as well helping to improve outcomes for us as
patients and service users”

20. Virtual meetings and communication:
some days I need a TARDIS
“Eat your lunch, sign prescriptions, answer queries from reception staff, get involved, pay attention and
contribute!”
CCG Chair
Solutions (although not quite as
good as a TARDIS):
• Skype
• Microsoft Office 365
• WebEx
and many more . . .

Lync device for virtual meetings

21. “Know where to find the information and
how to use it – That’s the secret of
success”

22. The challenge
• Implementing electronic health records &
technology changes within the NHS is a challenge,
a major project and a substantial change in the way
care is delivered
• But are successfully achievable with clinical
ownership
• Utilisation is much higher with clinical buy in
• Once technology enabled most health care
professionals would not want to go back
