Version 9 of the NHS Information Governance Toolkit is now officially live! So all healthcare providers and information services that support the NHS need to take note - annual Information Governance submissions need to take place before the end of this financial year, and they need to be made in line with the new information requirements attached to this version of the toolkit.
Full details of the changes between version 8 of the toolkit and version 9 of the toolkit can be found on the Connecting For Health's Information Governance Toolkit pages. Users will also notice some new functionality attached to this year's toolkit, including the rollover of all scores, evidence and comments from the previous assessment into version 9.
Additionally, large NHS organisations (Acute Trusts, Mental Health Trusts, Commissioning Organisations, Ambulance Trusts) will be expected to return to the completion of the 3 stage reporting process. Therefore if you are undertaking an IG assessment for one of these organisation-types you must carry out the following stages:
- Baseline assessment by 31 July 2011
- Performance update by 31 October 2011
- Final submission by 31 March 2012
