Information Governance Toolkit<br />

<strong>James</strong> <strong>Paget</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Hospitals</strong> NHS Foundation Trust Information Governance Toolkit<br />

assessment score. Overall score for <strong>2010</strong>/<strong>11</strong> was 45/45.<br />

Information governance is a systematic approach to ensuring that all aspects of the<br />

processing of personal and sensitive information, both paper and electronic, meet<br />

prescribed standards. It aims to ensure that performance is subject to continuous<br />

improvement. The Information Governance framework has four dimensions:<br />

• Management: structures, policies, procedures, etc.<br />

• Systems: access controls, application security, validation, etc.<br />

• Processes: protocols, records management, data quality, etc.<br />

• People: education, training, development, guidance, etc.<br />

As a key part of the Information Governance agenda, the Department of Health and NHS<br />

Connecting for Health jointly produced an Information Governance Toolkit. The current<br />

version of the Toolkit is scored using a simple Red/Green (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory)<br />

metric. The Toolkit is designed to assist organisations to achieve the aims of Information<br />

Governance and currently encompasses:<br />

• Information Governance Management<br />

• The NHS Confidentiality Code of Practice<br />

• The Caldicott Guidelines<br />

• Data Protection Act 1998<br />

• Information Security Management NHS Code of Practice<br />
