Dame Fiona Caldicott, the
National Data Guardian, will contribute to this review by developing clear
guidelines for the protection of personal data against which every NHS and care
organisation will be held to account.
The CQC will consider how
best to measure the implementation of these guidelines and will make
recommendations with a view to incorporating checks into existing inspection
processes.
This work will be completed
in January 2016.
Welcoming the announcement,
CQC's Chief Executive David Behan said:
"People need to have
trust in the NHS and have confidence that their personal medical records will
be secure and protected at all times. We welcome the Secretary of State's
request for us to carry out a national review of security arrangements across
the NHS for patient-confidential medical information. We will work with Dame
Fiona and others on this important issue."

I think our world will be only visualizing. Today business use a lot of virtual services to make more profits. Even paper documents disappear, because virtual data rooms exist, such as Ideals for keeping all documents on clouds and even implement deals in virtual room.
