Objectives |
The
mission of the organisation is to ensure a unified and
consistent approach to the management of information
used to plan and deliver services which promote the
health of children and young people and to participate
in the development of policies and standards to support
this objective. |
|
Scope and focus of programme |
Each
Accreditation Review is intended to examine the way that
the child health information system supports the process
of child health service delivery within mainly Primary
Care Trusts. Data accuracy is examined although the
process extends well beyond the information system
itself to the interfaces available to maximise the use
of Information Management and Technology to support the
range of services necessary to deliver effective child
health care. |
|
Products and services |
CHIC
produces arrange of material to support PCTs in their
management of child health services. Full details are
available on the web site. |
|
Standards |
The
Review uses a range of standards to ensure a level of
complicity between separate accreditations. However,
CHIC has recognised that the standards employed require
enhancement and change to meet the requirements imposed
by changing service arrangements, notably the National
Service Framework for Child Health and NPfIT (Connection
for Health) requirements.
Arrangements are being made to improve the standards
accordingly with the possibility in mind of producing a
standard set for self assessment purposes by our
membership. |
