National context
NHSGGC leads and contributes to a number of digital programmes with regional and national scope. This is an opportunity for NHSGGC to influence the direction of travel and maximise benefits in a “once for Scotland” context.
NHSGGC works closely with national organisations including Health Improvement Scotland, the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre, National Services Scotland, NHS Education for Scotland, and Scottish Government. The complexity of co-ordinating work at national level, and the need to collaborate with multiple suppliers and organisations, can introduce additional challenges.
Key programmes with a national dependency include:
- GP IT re-provisioning
- Laboratory Information Management System
- PACS re-provisioning
- CHI & Child Health
- O365
- eRostering
- Digital Front Door – Citizen’s Access
