NHS East Midlands recognises the importance of reliable information, both in terms of the clinical management of individual patients and the efficient management of services and resources.
Information governance plays a key part in supporting clinical governance, service planning and performance management. It also gives assurance to NHS East Midlands and to individuals that information is dealt with legally, securely, efficiently and effectively, in order to deliver the best possible care and to meet NHS East Midlands legal and good practise responsibilities.
NHS East Midlands will establish and maintain policies and procedures to ensure compliance with requirements contained in the Connecting for Health Information Governance Toolkit.
