The Issue

• Social Workers tied to Office Computers
• Secure locked down network
• Time consuming
• Sensitive data requirements
• Critical information about families
• Mainly contextual information capture
• Not all suited to template capture
• Double handling (re keying) of data
• Translation loss
• Timeliness of information

6
The Target Solutions Aim

• Free the Social Workers from the Office
• Capture information at first point
• No double handling
• Ensure confidentiality of the captured
  information
• Secure guaranteed transmission even across VPN
• Capture Specific and contextual information
• Handwriting recognition to text
• Provides mechanism to interface information to
  multiple core systems

7
CUT (Capture Using Tablets)

• Intended for Social Workers at Call Centre
• Design Translatable to Field Staff
• Intended to allow electronic capture of
  handwritten notes during telephone call

CUT Technical Overview

• Mixture of Drop Down Lists and contextual
  information
• Uses
• Tablet and InfoPath Forms
• Standard Tablet-based handwriting recognition
• Sharepoint Services to manage the InfoPath forms
• Biztalk as orchestration engine

10
PASTE (Personal Access Secure Transmission Engine)

• Designed to allow secure transmission regardless
  of transport mechanism
• Guaranteed encryption at packet level
• Status not much to see but it works. Initial
  tests have gone well

11
PASTE Technical Overview

• Encryption of information at packet level
• Regardless of transmission mechanism
• Uses

The Problem (District Nursing Service )

• Majority of record management is paper
• Patient information sometimes incomplete,
  untimely inaccurate
• Collection of operational statistics error prone
  and time consuming

15
The Idea !

• District Nurse captures data on a PDA whilst in
  the field

16
The Hurdles

• I.T. Resources
• Finance
• Current system almost completely paper-based
• Unproven/leading edge technology
