Electronic Document & Records Management
Every NHS organisation is charged with delivering the highest quality care to its patients whilst employing best practice information governance. Information governance ensures compliance with legislation and NHS guidelines that address how to manage responsibly and securely all organisational information - particularly the personal information of patients and employees.
To help NHS organisations in England assess the current state of their information governance and to meet the NHS’s target standards, the Department of Health and NHS Connecting for Health jointly produce an Information Governance Toolkit (IGT). The IGT is a framework to bring together all of the requirements, standards and best practices that apply to the handling of information which includes the management of all organisational records - clinical and corporate. The IGT framework covers:
- Policies and responsibilities
- Strategies, design and implementation
- Records processes and controls
- Monitoring and auditing compliance with standards
- Training
Further information on the IGT, and how an organisation can start to use it, is available from the Connecting for Health IGT website.
