Durham and DarlingtonICRS Where to start?
Dr Grant Kelly BMA Council Chair, BMA ITC Chair DoH EPB – now: Privacy Enhancing Technologies Project SEAG of GPRD Chichester GP 21 years
Background 1 NWN 1994 “All patient data is to be accessible to the wider NHS family, and all those in contract with the NHS”
Background 2 “You have zero privacy anyway; Get over it.” “Privacy is transient; it began following the demise of an all-seeing God and stopped when government, sensing a vacuum, stepped in to fill the gap”
Background 3 “Internet technology has evolved to support interaction between organisations with neither common aims nor management; as such it is ideally suited to the NHS” Jonathon Kay
BMA/clinician view We need to move forward We appreciate the potential of electronics Fully-functional, progressing e-NHS We (variably) recognise the mountain (range) we have to climb
What’s the aim? To replace paper by electronics for: Speed Ease of use Availability Reliability Added value And with a net gain ….tough
Paper Needs no power Available (?) Universally understood/useable Law, business of supply, etc Standards in place Public acceptance/handling …but
But: Illegible Gets lost/de-structured Available in one place only Is passive Not a learning/auditing medium ………..time to move on
Non-negotiables…. Availability Ease of use Minimise consultation damage/Heisenberg Confidentiality Integrity Authenticity Non-repudiation
ICT thoughts An unlinked computer is a waste of space Linking computers (can) save work Linking computers (can) reduce errors But only by establishing identity/access control and using EDI
What’s out there? ? What we’d like……
