The NIGB definition of IG Information governance describes the structures, policies and practices which are used to ensure the confidentiality and security of records of patients and service users. Correctly developed and implemented it Correctly developed and implemented it enables the appropriate and ethical and lawful use of information for the benefit of individuals and the public good’. This is the definition of information governance that the Board have developed.
Compliance
Compliance Legal framework around personal data and its use Law is in terms of responsibilities (not ownership) Interactions of statute, guidance, concepts (public interest, vital interest) key areas challenge understanding
Legalese Data Protection Act 1998 Data Controller Joint Data Controllers Data Controllers in Common Data Processors Human Rights Act 1998 Common Law Duty of Confidentiality
Building Blocks Two building blocks for understanding Primary Use (another perspective on secondary use) Consent
Primary Use Healthcare data – information about an individuals health provided to a healthcare professional for the provision of healthcare (and relevant administration - appointments). Clear expectation of confidentiality Also consider Wider medical purposes Implications for medical research
Consent Consent – contested term Concept used in several ways by different groups Implied Consent (NHS) – The patient turned up for treatment Explicit Consent (Social Care) – Signed piece of paper or addition to record – issue explained to the service user Informed Consent – that the person given consent has capacity and understands what they are consenting to
Legal Basis Key legislation, schedule 3 of the Data Protection Act 1998 Explicit Consent Mental and Physical Health Sexual Life Definition Health Professional and Health Record
Information Rights Advocacy
Information Rights Right of Access to Information with a growing expectation of routine access Patients access to data about themselves Includes right access information about who has seen their record (implication should be able to understand why) Freedom of Information Disclosure (and eDisclosure) – concepts around court cases expectation all relevant information is provided to legal representatives of all parties (Don’t forget EIRs)
Information Security

Information Risk
Information Risk What’s is your organisation’s Risk Appetite? Where’s IG on the spectrum? How do they set (or moderate) priorities in dealing with risk? Where would it be after a data loss? How engaged is your SIRO? How often do you get to discuss the issues? Key Issue – understand your organisational culture

Not matter how bad it is.. Telephone call on the weekend, system about to go live on Monday . Personal Identifiable Data – accessible to all users, can the IG manager sort out the IG over the weekend? Managers drops in on a Friday afternoon, Trust building closed that day, they found 200 boxes – looks like patient records – could they be removed – new tenant moves in on Monday We bought some new laptops and they “seem” to have gone missing. No we didn’t buy them through ICT, we had some spare money at the end of the financial year and ... oh are they encrypted? How would I know, I’m not from ICT.

The power of information Putting all of us in control of the health and care information we need
the vision: people first Joined up systems and shared data standards will facilitate and drive integration within and between organisations and care settings to ensure that care is focused around the person and their health and care needs. This is why the strategy spans the NHS, public health and social care. Getting the right information to the right people at the right time – in a form they can understand, engage with and contribute to – will help individuals take control of their own care, improving self-management, shared decision making, and more informed choices. Needs support and advocacy to help people in all sectors of society to make meaningful use of it, harnessing modern technology where that is helpful. 45
the information strategy: main ambitions • Information used to drive integrated care across the entire health and social care sector • Information regarded as a health and care service in its own right – with appropriate support in using information available for those who need it, so that information benefits everyone and helps reduce inequalities • A change in culture and mindset, in which our health and care professionals, organisations and systems recognise that information in our own care records is fundamentally about us - so it becomes normal for us to access our own records • Information recorded once, at our first contact with professional staff, and shared securely between those providing our care – supported by consistent use of information standards that enable data to flow between systems whilst keeping our confidential information safe and secure
the information strategy: main ambitions • Our electronic care records become the source for core information used to improve our care, improve services and to inform research, etc. – reducing bureaucratic data collections and enabling us to measure quality • A culture of transparency where access to high-quality, evidence-based information about services and the quality of care held by Government and health and care services is openly and easily available to us all • An information-led culture where all health and care professionals take responsibility for recording, sharing and using information to improve care • The widespread use of modern technology to make health and care services more convenient, accessible and efficient • An information system built on innovative and integrated solutions and local decision-making, within a framework of national standards that ensure information can move freely, safely, and securely around the system
the vision: modern convenient information 2. Booking appointments will be quicker when you can do it online 3. You’ll need fewer phone calls when you can communicate with professional teams electronically 1. Accessing your GP record online will give you more control over your care 4. You’ll have less paperwork in your life when your healthcare letters are available online 5. You’ll know where to go for health and care information when there is one trusted website 6. Services will do more to offer you support you use and understand information if and when you need it. 9. You will have more information to help you choose the best services and treatments for you 7. You won’t have to repeat yourself when your information is shared between health and care professionals 8. You’ll be confident that your feedback is being listened to and helping to improve services
what we heard: information governance Consultation responses recognised: the importance of providing safeguards to accessing data barriers to sharing data get in the way of high quality care The NHS Future Forum received a clear message: not sharing information has the potential to do more harm than sharing it 49
what we heard: information governance The NHS Future Forum also proposed a ‘deal’ along the lines: “You have a right to access your data and a right to withhold consent to its being shared. You have a corresponding responsibility to let us use your data in the interests of your own care and of improving the service for others. We have a right to use your data, and a corresponding responsibility to tell you exactly what we plan to do with it and, when sharing it, to take all reasonable steps to protect your confidentiality.” 50
the vision: information governance Government has commissioned an independent review of information governance rules and their application, led by Dame Fiona Caldicott to ensure an appropriate balance between: the protection of confidential and identifiable information within our health and care records and the use and sharing of information to improve the quality and safety of our own care and for the benefit of wider society Government has also committed to consulting on an amendment to the NHS Constitution to make more explicit proposals for the ‘consent deal’ 51
the vision: care records - a core source of data Better care 52
the strategy online: aimed at real people online version includes sections on “what the strategy means for me” using a wide range of case studies easy-read developed in partnership with CHANGE, a learning disability organisation equality impact assessment co-produced by the Department of Health with 13 other organisations extensive partnership working with Intellect, Royal College of GPs and many others www.informationstrategy.dh.gov.uk
