Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report that outlined the progress on data and information sharing.

The Board was informed that data and information sharing remained a critical enabler in delivering high quality joined up care for the citizens of Oldham. There had been a workshop in April that was a catalyst to confirm commitment from system leaders at the highest level to the importance of data and information sharing. A number of key actions had taken place since the workshop which were summarised into three areas; data sharing, risk stratification/ population health and Digital Strategy.

Data Sharing

The Memorandum of understanding and Alliance Agreement had been signed by all parties by end of May. This included a commitment to have appropriate detailed agreements in place and to move to a population approach to health. A data sharing agreement for Oldham Cares was in development and would be signed off by all partners by September 18.

Population Health

Agreement had been reached;

·        To continue with the existing risk stratification EMIS tool

·     To use our BI combined resource and clinical leadership to work with Salford to accelerate the roll out of (Global Digital Excellence Status) GDES tools into Oldham.

·     To review this approach in six months’ time (November 2018) and in between provide feedback through the Project Highlights Report to the Alliance Board.

·     To make a bid to the Health Foundation for a BI integrated platform to support service development and data sharing at a neighbourhood level, the outcome of which would be known in late summer.

Digital Strategy

Oldham Digital Strategy was in development and would be presented to Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership in July. This included the development of digital solutions to support integration and data sharing.

RESOLVED that the progress was noted and the Board would receive quarterly updates on future developments.
