Safety recommendation
HSIB recommends that NHS England develops guidance to providers, via any digital maturity assessments that are developed, to help ensure critical patient information (such as patient identifiers and cardiopulmonary resuscitation status) is available to clinical staff when accessing electronic patient record systems.
Response:
The Frontline Digitisation programme will ensure that the next iteration of the Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA) incorporates guidance to give clarity to NHS Trusts on the priority of ensuring critical patient information is available to staff accessing electronic patient record systems.
Actions planned to deliver safety recommendation:
DMA Programme Board to be responsible for implementing this recommendation. Timeline for DMA revision will dictate this – it is planned to be annually refreshed.
