Version 9 of the Information Governance Toolkit is now available for healthcare providers and those organisations that process patient level information to complete.
As the Department of Health releases it's 9th year of completing Information Governance assessments, we take a look at the key changes in this version of the Toolkit, looking to see how the assessment will differ this year for partaking organisations.
Key changes have been made to the functionality of the Toolkit, with Version 8 comments and scores rolled over into the organisation-specific information found in Version 9.
Since Version 7 there has been a significant increase in the number of indicators that organisations have to report on and provide evidence against. These indicators continue to provide robust information about organisation's governance arrangements.
Additional organisation types now have the ability to complete this Information Governance Toolkit. The toolkit has now been made available to those organisations that provide prescribed appliances to patients and healthcare providers, and to organisations that process patient-level information for purposes other than providing direct healthcare.
Words Worth Reading Ltd has created a handy one page summary on Version 9 of the Toolkit. It can be downloaded for free from the Newsletters webpage.
