Up to £99,000 will be made available for NHS organisations that come up with new digital services which improve patient care and help share information more easily across the NHS.
The Department of Health’s Information Sharing Challenge Fund is searching for innovative ideas that change the way information is currently used and shared between different organisations so that NHS staff, clinicians and patients can access information when they need to and patients can be involved in decisions about their care if they wish to be. NHS organisations will be able to bid for funding if their ideas demonstrate value for money and can easily be adopted by other NHS organisations as part of the NHS Interoperability Toolkit (ITK), a set of standards and frameworks that connects different IT systems together.
