Healthcare

The NHS today has a need for information management systems to help meet obligations under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FoI) and to provide a framework to foster good practice for information and clinical governance.

Transparency of service
Service delivery to the patient and their family is a key objective across the NHS. FoI encompasses all information types, and any supporting framework needs to be capable of dealing with both electronic and physical records. This framework must allow for information selection, as well as internal and external publication.

Cost effectiveness
Our pricing structure is extremely competitive. This means that resources can be focused on human resources and the wider cultural issues associated with records management and FoI obligations.

Strategies for success
Across the NHS organisation there are steering groups for:

• Clinical information
• National health information
• Patients information
• Health in practice information groups

These information strategies can be incorporated within the Wisdom file plan.

Wisdom Records Management
Successful records management is based on efficiency and ease of use. Furthermore, good record keeping will help deliver open and effective governance and support collaborative working practices with colleagues, partners and patients. Wisdom, integrated tightly with Microsoft's SharePoint Portal Server, will specifically address the issues surrounding information FOI, accountability, openness and governance best practice.
