Key Discussion Points

  • Transformation Board had agreed that SIG approval is what is required for collaborative documents. Documents available on YIC website with placeholders to localise documents for use in Trusts. May have to be discussion with local governance to agree this.
  • Pilot work in HDFT and MYHT for integration is going well, with the first testing scanned images and HL7 data sent to the Intelerad platform having been successful. Aim to have live deployment between HDFT and MYHT by the end of October.
  • 70 homeworking stations have been implemented in peoples homes and work on the collaborative pricing matrix has been done. The YIC website is being populated with all YIC, and insource and SIG information.
  • Funding has been secured for two project managers to support special interest groups to work on protocols and patient information leaflets etc.
  • SIG members agreed that collaborative patient information leaflets was the best direction to go as they are able to manage insourcing within their own Trusts.
  • Collaborative Radiographer training was also a priority, and a request was asked for somebody to lead this work.
