The NHS is currently evolving to meet the needs of an ageing population. This means that not only is the delivery of clinical care more challenging in the acute hospital setting but it increasingly relies on enhanced information access in the primary care, mental health and community environments too.
The Five Year Forward View (FYFV) made it clear that integrated care models are the future of the NHS and this will clearly depend on technology as an enabler. However, associated with greater investments in digital systems are increased information threats which healthcare organisations need support to manage at an end-user level while also complying with developing regulatory guidelines.
