noted. “There’s a great emphasis on patient confidentiality,” he reported, before suggesting that concern over patient safety discouraged healthcare workers from sharing information. Perhaps unsurprisingly, another clinician endorsed these sentiments. Dr Ruth Law is a consultant geriatrician in North London, and said that she has “experienced a lot of defensiveness around data issues.” “Clinicians have a fear of doing the wrong thing,” she noted. “[We’re] only meant to share information with people directly involved in [a patient’s] clinical care, and have to make judgments about this. [So while] we issue confidentiality guidance in favour of information sharing, it still reads as if we shouldn’t [do so]. This needs to be addressed at a national level, to give doctors more [guidance] on sharing information.” If some of the concern over data sharing stems from a desire to reassure patients that information they divulge is stored safely, it’s ironic to note that many assume its free movement around the health service anyway. Shilpi Rahman made this point, arguing that “a lot of patients” assume primary and secondary care providers hold information in common – when in reality they don’t. This misconception on the part of service users leads to the sort of frustration documented above. But it can be alleviated, said surgery business manager Paul Brown, by putting ownership of personal data, held digitally, in the hands of patients. “Get patients owning [their data digitally],” he proposed, “and [make them] responsible for sharing it with their clinicians.” A brave new world Brown’s suggestion is a bold one, and would need careful implementation to prove successful. But one thing is for certain: it reflects a changing view of technology in society, and greater awareness of its potential to transform lives. The health service already has day-to-day examples of the use of technology to improve the patient experience, like self-check-in at GP surgeries and equipment such as home-use blood pressure monitors. But Alan Kennedy said it has a lot to learn from other sectors if real progress is to be made over the coming years. “There is a tendency [in the health service] to think that we understand the NHS, and only we can invent technology answers to our problems,” he reflected. “But we should look at other sectors, and learn from them – especially when it comes to using multi-channel ways of working.” Paul Houseman agreed, and argued that healthcare managers need to be educated about IT. “It’s down to senior leaders to push in new directions,” he said, “but CCGs are predominantly made up of GPs with clinical expertise.” The challenge, then, is to equip these skilled practitioners with sufficient knowledge about technology to “drive

garnered by technology (60 per cent of respondents recognised these) and the potential for improved patient care through innovations such as remote working and telehealth. Joined-up thinking While it’s easy to knock the NPfIT, Dell’s director of healthcare and life sciences, Gary Birks, was quick to identify the important contribution it has made to moving technology forward throughout the health service. “The NPfIT found a significant difference just in the baseline technology used across General Practice from Primary Care Trust to Primary Care Trust,” he said. “One of the things it did was [to] bring that baseline up, [and make] software more readily available. It forced GPs that didn’t have a clinical system to take [one up], and at least got them on the road. Where it foundered, however, was that everyone was at a different point on that journey.” If this explains why the connectivity that was a key part of the NPfIT’s approach didn’t succeed, it doesn’t obviate the need to join different healthcare providers together – as respondents to the Dell/Dods Research survey were quick to recognise. For example, only two per cent of the nearly 2,000 respondents said that primary and secondary care is sufficiently joined up in their area. Moreover, 65 per cent said they were unable to access relevant information from external organisations when trying to provide care to patients, and a staggering 96 per cent said healthcare and social care were not sufficiently linked for patient needs. The benefits of a more joined-up approach to healthcare were highlighted by Shilpi Rahman, a practice manager from the West Midlands. “At the moment all the practices in our area use the same IT,” she reported. “This is immensely helpful, because it means [everything] is transferred electronically [between practices].” That enhances efficiency, Rahman said, by making record keeping less labour intensive. In a further benefit, it makes for a happier workforce, because they get to do more hands-on work and less paper pushing. When joined-up healthcare works, then, it proves to be a big hit. And the converse is true: when healthcare providers don’t share information, it can be highly frustrating for patients. Alan Kennedy, lay chair of the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in Crawley, West Sussex, drew on personal experience to make this point. After a health scare, he was irritated by the lack of shared data among different parts of the NHS, meaning he had to repeat information and tests in a variety of places. “We’ve invested a lot of emotional time, resource and money in enabling new records,” he stated. “But they’re not portable, or connected at all. The NHS is driven by snail mail at the moment.” Part of the problem is that healthcare providers are nervous about sharing patient data, as GP Dr Sunil Gup
