NPfIT: making the best use of the time before deployment

The early NHS Electronic Patient Record sites, such as the Wirral and Burton, have shown that IT-enabled change needs preparation and careful planning—that takes time. Some things that can be addressed now to prepare for NPfIT are:

• Assessing IT infrastructure
• Assessing data structures
• Gaining the engagement of staff
• Planning process changes
• Planning organisational changes
• Integrating NPfIT with other priorities

To do this, you need to know what to expect from health IT, and that’s where Kinetic Consulting can help. Contact Kinetic Consulting to find out more.

Are you asking how can I...

• Best improve the experience of patients?
• Afford the deployment of NPfIT?
• Use NPfiT to assist me in Modernisation?
• Further engage clinical staff?
