Next steps for IT, data and patient records in the NHS: funding, commissioning and implementing the Wachter Review

February 2017


Price: £95 PLUS VAT
Format: DOWNLOADABLE PDF


Following the launch of NHS Digital and the discontinuation of care.data, delegates at this seminar considered the priorities for digital health and widening digital participation in the NHS, in line with the National Information Board’s ‘Personalised Health and Care 2020 Framework’.


Attendees also assessed the impact of the Wachter Review, which looks at how IT and electronic health records are used across the NHS, and issues for data security and confidentiality, in light of a review by the CQC and the new National Data Guardian.


Further sessions focused on challenges for commissioners and providers to achieve paperless care, including progress made since the submission of Local Digital Roadmaps and Digital Maturity Assessments, using big data to improve health outcomes and expanding the use of patient data in research and clinical trials.
