The CCIO role is increasingly needed to champion the development of clinical information systems that assist clinicians in the delivery of patient care. Potentially, they will better translate clinicians requirements into specifications for IT systems.
Healthcare is delivered by teams and teams can only function when they communicate and have the right information. Whilst communication and information management has undergone a revolution in other industries healthcare still relies on technology like faxes and pagers. The campaign for CCIO’s will bring clinical focus to information and communication as a way to update and improve the quality and safety of care that the NHS is able to deliver.
The North East Clinical Health Informatics Forum members are from a range of disciplines and sectors. Forum members have a keen interest in how 'enabling technologies' can support the delivery of efficient, effective high quality care, working collaboratively to facilitate clinical involvement in technological advancements within their organisations.
The members firmly believe that the key ingredient to the appropriate and successful use of these technologies within the NHS is Clinical Leadership and engagement from 'ward to board'. The Forum wholeheartedly endorses the campaign and will support the delivery of the 'vision' in any way it can.
The College of Emergency Medicine recognises that informatics forms a crucial part of the delivery of effective healthcare. Clinical engagement and leadership are a key part of the drive to improve informatics in the NHS. The College therefore supports the campaign objectives of the EHI CCIO Campaign.
