Healthcare smart cards - at last? LifeHouse Mike McCurry Smart Cards Project Manager SCNF 5 November 2002
My Background • 1984 - 1989: Rhydfellin and Exmouth projects • 1990 - 1995: ‘Eurocards’ EC Concerted Action • 1996: EC’s PHARE project in Poland • 2000 - 2001: Business Development, USA smart card software company
1983 - 1995: UK Department of Health representative on issues involving smart cards • Former chair of the Smart Card Club’s Healthcare Cards Forum
What is LifeHouse? • A London-wide database of clinical information taken from operational systems • primary care • secondary care • NHS Direct • London Ambulance Service

NHS LifeHouse Design Authority Data Quality • Pilots • 1. PMI, CMDS and IOS (March 2003) -- Goldfish Bowl Studies • 2. Clinically rich: C&W (March 2003) • 3. Mayday & Croydon (March 2003) • 4. Community/Primary (July 2003) London Amb Service Access Card Readers NHS Direct Access Gateway SecureCards
Why a smart card Authentication token for secure access to clinical records • PKI • Biometric • Visible NHS number • Emergency medical information • No clinical data on the card
Card Overview • Multi-application smart chip • Open systems • Using existing standards • Card management system • Robust registration procedures Creating an opportunity for shared cards
SecureCards • Objective - 200,000 cards issued to healthcare professionals and patients • Procurement process - OJEC advert • Uses and users, public, staff, etc • Implementation routes
Not re-inventing flat tyres Seeking advice from and working with: • NHS Information Authority • eEnvoys Office • CEN TC 251 • ISO TC 215 • LondonConnects
Card holders Patients • Voluntary (no charge for the card, proposed) • By application Healthcare professionals • All who are involved in the process of healthcare delivery
Pilots sites • Users awareness programme and publicity • the citizen • GPs • hospitals • ambulance service staff
Pilot sites Suppliers • ‘total solution’ • probably not registration • everything else from the white card to issuance • Card life cycle management • outsourced
Hurdles • Public acceptance • Healthcare Professions • Costs • Perceived benefits and many others I’ve probably not thought of yet!
