Information Sharing Arrangements. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has issued a statement that whilst they had previously considered GPs to be sole data controllers of their patient records; they now accept that GPs and their contracting Health Boards have joint data controller processing responsibilities towards the GP patient record. The new GMS contractual provisions in Scotland will reduce the risk to GPs of being data controllers by clarifying respective responsibilities within this joint controller arrangement. These contractual changes will support ICO’s position that GPs are not the sole data controllers of the GP patient records but are joint data controllers along with their contracting NHS Board. The contract will clarify the limits of GPs’ responsibilities and GPs will not be exposed to liabilities relating to data outwith their meaningful control. The new contractual provisions will lay the foundations for increased lawful, proactive and appropriate sharing of information amongst professionals working within the health and social care system for the purposes of patient care.

Where sharing arrangements have been agreed and implemented, the EMISweb clinical solution allows access between individual data controllers’ systems.

This helps to ensure a legitimate relationship exists for all shared accesses. How access is to be monitored (audit, logs)? Audit policies and facilities are available for all controllers to help ensure a legitimate relationship exists for all shared accesses. What security measures will be in place?
