Information Governance Solutions
Information governance is a framework or umbrella term. It informs the NHS, Local Authorities and their partner organisations of the processes and procedures that it must have to ensure:
-
your confidentiality is respected
-
your records are held in secure conditions
-
information about you is recorded clearly and accurately, so that it can be easily read and relied upon by others providing you with care.
Good information governance relies on everyone within an organisatiion to do their part, by adhering to Policies, Procedures and Guidelines in their every day duties.
In addition to doing the right thing, it is also important in this age of audit and regulatory overview that you are seen to be doing the right thing - and that often means not only logging information access activity but also reading, understanding and reacting to that activity if it falls outside the permitted realms of Policy. This is often a resource-heavy discipline which inevitably means that it is, at best, a 'back-burner' activity or, at worst, is not considered at all in any resourcing plan.
Fortunately, technology (such as that which deals with Identity & Access Management and Privacy Management) is available today to ensure that you are compliant with your information governance obligations.
