What is information governance in healthcare?
Information governance helps manage and control information by supporting the organisation’s activities and ensuring compliance with its duties. Patients and service users entrust their personal information to healthcare organisations, creating distinct requirements for confidentiality, privacy, and security.
IG is the way in which the NHS and other health and social care providers handle all of its information, in particular the personal and sensitive information relating to patients and employees.
What is the purpose of information governance?
The purpose of the assessment is to enable organisations to measure their compliance with the law and central guidance and to see whether the information is handled correctly and protected from unauthorised access, loss, damage and destruction.
Information governance describes the holistic approach to managing information by implementing processes, roles and metrics to transform information into a business asset. The purpose of the IG framework is to formally establish an organisation’s approach to the handling and management of information.
What are the Skills for Health’s UK “Core Skills Training Framework” (CSTF)?
There is increasing recognition that there are wide variations in the quality and consistency of healthcare training provided across the UK. To minimise these challenges, Octrac Consulting works with various UK health and social care organisations to develop statutory and mandatory training courses in line with Skills for Health’s UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF).
