  1. The Vision The NHS vision is to have a more modern, efficient, patient-led health service and to give patients more choice and control over their own health and care. The NHS Connecting for Health aim is to deliver new, integrated IT systems and services to help modernise the NHS and ensure care is patient led. This requires delivering the right information to the right person at the right time.

  2. Safe to Share CfH sets the standards for these integrated services to ensure that information is processed securely with proper regard for confidentiality, integrity and availability. All users of CfH services are required to comply with these standards and demonstrate they are “safe organisations” to share with. IG Toolkit is the framework for assessing and monitoring compliance with all NHS Information Governance standards. IGSoC provides assurance that an organisation meets the minimum standards required by CfH and is a “safe organisation” to share with.

  3. National Primary Care Programme • Programme requires strong public, patient & clinical engagement • Holding, sharing and processing data relies on patient consent • Therefore confidence in NHS ability to handle personal data is key • Care Records Guarantee was introduced to provide confidence • The IG Toolkit links to the Care Records Guarantee

  4. 4 Stages of PCT readiness – Why? • TPP SystmOne only prescribing system currently available this year (~12% of market and clustered) • Majority of dispensing systems (~80% of market) should be accredited by end of 2009 • £1K Pharmacy payment based on going live with EPS R2 – big drive for multiples for mass implementation • SoS Direction a long (and as yet unconfirmed) process – “interim” stages of approval breaks EPS R2 readiness into more manageable stages for PCTs. • PCTs with large commuter population / those next to Initial Implementer PCTs can prepare their pharmacies • Will give pharmacy supplier valuable informationabout which PCTs can support R2 go lives.

  5. Stage 1 – Ready to dispense The PCT must have the following in place to support pharmacies (contractors) in going live with EPS R2: • Governance structure in place • Smartcard distribution and transition policy • Nomination policy • A process to distribute dispensing token stationery • Business continuity plan in place for dispensers • Dispensing contractors aware of above and what has been done locally to prepare for EPS R2.

  6. Stage 2 – SHA approval to apply for SoS Direction The SHA needs to sponsor the PCT for SoS Directions and that the PCT has the following in place: • Approved Stage 1 deliverables • Local stakeholder and communications strategy • Business continuity guidance for prescribers • Business process mapping and change plan • PCT wide deployment plan for EPS R2

  7. Stage 3 – PCT “Ready to Prescribe” using EPS R2 The PCT are ready to enable EPS R2. The following are in place: • SOS Directions • Approved deliverables in Stage 1 and 2 • Patient enablement strategy

  8. Stage 4 – PCT fully EPS Release 2 Operational PCT is live (i.e. sent an EPS R2 prescription)

  9. Next Steps • NIMs to make SHA EPS leads aware of 4 stages and discuss SHA EPS R2 approval process • EPS Programme to publish example documents to ease PCT pain in preparing documentation • Example – London • 4 stage approval process to be approved next week • Workshops for PCTs on process and what they have to do being held mid October • Aiming for most PCTs to be Stage 1 by end of 2009
