3Initial Process Issues
- Triage Form complexity
- Information requested
- Time to complete
- End User Contact leaving LSD out of support
loop - NSD response times
- Delay in reporting and receiving incident
information from ISP - Communication channels between support
organisation - Communication from NSD to LSD
- Insufficient product knowledge LSD NSD
- Severity Setting
- End user understanding of SLAs
4Referring National Programme Incidents -
Gathering User Information
- Local Helpdesk This should be pre-populated with
the name of your helpdesk - Local Ref No. Provided if your incident
management system assigns a unique reference
number to the record. This enables case
cross-referencing - Date and Time of Incident The time and date
when the incident occurred - Name of User experiencing the problem Full name
and title to be included e.g. Dr. John Smith, not
simply Dr. Smith - User Email Address Used for key communications
e.g. expected resolution time, reference number,
resolution details etc. - User PNC / NACs Code This may not be available.
Best obtained by asking the user whether their
site has a Practice National Code (PNC) or
National Administration Code (NAC). - Users Site Trust Name Name of Site and Trust
- Users Address incl. Post Code Site address and
Post Code - Role of User Each user has an assigned role
that is pre-programmed on their Smartcard and
controls their access rights e.g. Clinician
(NOTE Some users have multiple roles. The end
user should provide the role that they were using
when the incident occurred)
1
- HINTS TIPS
- Where possible, pre-populate end user and
location details (Site Name, Trust Name and
Address incl. Post Code) in your own incident
management system then all you need to do is
confirm them with the end user and then simply
copy and past them into the Triage Form!
5Referring National Programme Incidents -
Describing the Incident
- Description of the Incident The majority of
your time should be spent completing this section
of the form. Incidents can only be diagnosed and
resolved by Technical Analysts if there is enough
information in this section to allow them to - Recreate the incident
- Eliminate solutions that have already been
considered and investigated - Identify familiar symptoms between the incident
and known errors / outstanding problems - Identify a workaround / permanent solution
2
- To enable the above, the description of the
Incident must include - Name of the application e.g. Vision, Synergy etc.
- Summary of the Incident e.g. User cannot logon to
Portal - Full replication of the steps that led to the
incident - Has the Incident occurred before?
- A summary of the incident diagnosis that has been
carried out e.g. what were the end users key
phrases, what options did you consider, what
options were eliminated following further
questioning, what did you conclude and why - Any error messages must be provided in full.
Screen shots should be included where
appropriate. (NOTE screen shots must not include
any patient identifiable data so please delete or
obscure before sending through)
6Referring National Programme Incidents - Setting
the Impact
- Impact of the Incident This field is used to
describe the business and patient impact of the
Incident. The Integrated Service Providers will
rely on the information provided in this field to
accurately set the severity of the incident. - The best way to capture this information is to
put yourself in the shoes of the end user - What were they trying to do? Are they booking an
appointment, printing a prescription, - What is the impact on the users patients? Can
they still receive treatment? - What time of day did the incident occur? Peak
period or last thing before users go home? - Is there any other way that user could complete
the task? E.g. if the issue is related to
printing a prescription could the end user write
the prescription by hand or use another printer
etc. - Are any other End Users affected? E.g. is the
LSP Portal down for everyone or just one person. - Is there any clinical risk? E.g. the incident has
resulted in an incorrect drug being prescribed - Is there any security risk? E.g. users can see
data they should not have access to
3
- HINTS TIPS
- Consider the situation and ask the most relevant
questions if you ask everything you will be on
the phone all day! - Use the knowledge you already have of the
incident before asking any additional questions
7Referring National Programme Incidents -
Completing the Form
- Environment Add an X to highlight the
technical environment where the incident occurred
- Contact Name The name of the person that the
Technical Analyst will contact if they require
further information about the incident. In order
of preference, this contact could be - The end user experiencing the incident
- A nominated representative e.g. the Practice
Manager at the relevant GP Surgery - The Local Helpdesk
- Contact Telephone Number The telephone number
for the above contact - Contact Email Address The email address for the
above contact

8Recent Process Improvements
- Triage Form complexity
- Single page, Version 2 Issued 26th September
- Relevant information only
- Uses the LSD as the Contact (based on LSD
feedback) - Comprehensive guidelines for completion issued
- End User Contact
- Contact is now the LSD rather than End User
- NSD response times
- Increased staff numbers in line with demand
- Improved technology
9Recent Process Improvements - continued
- Delay in reporting and receiving incident
information to/from ISP - Word triage form now received by ISP
- Moved toward electronic communication between NSD
and CSCA - Email confirmation of receipt and severity sent
to Contact and NSD - Email confirmation of resolution sent direct from
CSCA to Contact and NSD - Weekly review of end to end performance against
internal guarantees - Insufficient product knowledge LSD NSD
- Knowledge gained from experience
- Initial knowledge packs provided to NSD and LSD
- Severity Setting
- Tool to allow consistent allocation of severity
- Inform Contact via email of Severity set
- End user understanding of service levels
10Future Planned Improvements
- Triage Form complexity
- Improve guidance for completion of forms to
ensure all relevant information is provided for
type of incident - End User Contact
- Communication required on the responsibilities of
the Contact i.e. Contact must be able to assist
in resolution if required - If Contact is the End Users we need the LHDs
email address as well - NSD response times
- CSCA demand forecasting additional users
- Continued review of performance
- Delay in reporting and receiving incident
information to/from ISP - Continued review of performance
- Further information requests when end user
unavailable Suspend Clock CCN required
11Future Planned Improvements
- Insufficient product knowledge LSD NSD
- Mechanism for Knowledge transfer and for
monitoring success of knowledge articles - on the
agenda of the HDOF - Ensure LSD staff included in Trust training plans
- Severity Setting
- Review severity guidelines to improve clarity
- End user awareness communication
- Understanding Clinical Risk
- Process to review/measure severity disputes
- End user understanding of service levels
- Email sent when incident is logged will include
the SLA fix time - Review with LSDs
12LSD Role in Service Improvement
- LSDs are key player as they own the relationship
with the End User - Cluster Help Desk Forum
- Key contributors to prioritising Service
Improvement initiatives - Assist with any service improvement trials
- End User communication
- Develop a closer relationship with CSCA
