IT & Medical Connectivity Network
Summary
IT systems reach out into all areas of healthcare and new mobile technology is bringing health IT into every aspect of our lives. Government and social pressures are causing a rush into data-sharing and connectivity without necessarily building the robust infrastructure, security, governance, and supplier interfaces to ensure safe, reliable provision. Recognising the need to support NHS professionals in these areas, NPAG launched its IT & Medical Connectivity Network early in 2017.
This network brings together NHS Acute & Community IT professionals, Clinical Engineers, and Suppliers to understand and overcome some of the interoperability, security, and connection issues. It allows shared learning and training across organisations, pulling together a sometimes-disparate community and gaining valuable insights from suppliers, government agencies and invited experts.
