Common use of Information to be shared Clause in Contracts

Information to be shared. For the purposes of this project, each party providing data will be considered singularly the Data Controller. Each Data Controller will specify the relevant and most appropriate data items that are required to support the delivery care. Specific sensitive codes will be either shared or not shared depending on the nature of the arrangement included in Appendix A. The inclusion of these codes will be approved by the ELHCP IG Committee and the Data Controllers on a case by case basis with decisions informed by lead clinicians from all of the services that it will affect (ie the affected sending organisation(s) and the receiving organisation(s)) The amount of data being shared and with whom should reflect the needs of residents and of the clinicians and other staff delivering their services. The amount data that is shared will also reflect the maturity of the local systems in terms of how configurable they are to share information. The Data Controllers will need to work within the confines of the abilities of these systems and adapt Appendix A as and when the systems change or become more mature in their approach to data sharing. The Data Controllers must ensure that their approach around sharing of data should be proportionate and manageable to ensure that complexities aren’t introduced that make the process unworkable or difficult for residents to understand. The data sets will be specified in Appendix A.
