| Description:
| Aims: To provide further opportunities for the application and implementation of information governance knowledge and skills to wider organisational settings in health and social care, including those relating to informatics, information systems and organisational change. This is a natural progression from Information Governance in Practice I allowing students to continue to apply knowledge and skills to their practice setting and to their organisational context as they specialise further in the programme. Learning Outcomes: Knowledge and Understanding After taking this unit the student should be able to: * Critically analyse the theoretical knowledge of information governance * Apply information governance knowledge and understanding to specific work base issues * Understand the application of information governance at an organisational level * Examine the business change process in relation to Information Governance. * Critically assess the information governance needs of an organisation * Understand the planning and implementation of information governance within a wider organisational context * Critically analyse the role of information governance at a national level These learning outcomes will be taught and assessed. Skills: On completion of this unit students should be able to: * Apply general theoretical knowledge to specific instances * Undertake a risk assessment for Information Governance * Develop and undertake an Information Governance strategy and implementation plan * Develop, implement and monitor key information governance strategies, polices and processes. * Plan and manage their learning through reflecting on and analysing their own learning needs. * Integrate and critically evaluate information gathered from a wide range of resources including the unit resources, text books, journal articles, web pages and other online resources. An appreciation for a hierarchy of evidence should be displayed. * Communicate effectively with colleagues and tutors including through asynchronous online discussions. These learning outcomes will be facilitated and some may be assessed. Content: This Unit enables the practical application of theoretical knowledge of information governance in a healthcare setting and is taken concurrently with the study of the other sequential units. Study activities within Information Governance in Practice I will be scheduled to correspond to study in other units and reflect the increasing knowledge and expertise gained over time. Information Governance in Practice develops practitioner-based skills delivered through work-based experiences, online case-based discussions and face-to-face courses, to include consideration and application of the following: * Information Governance Toolkit - The role of the Information Governance Toolkit in the NHS. * Information Governance Manager - role and responsibilities and how this is integrated into the wider organisational structure * Case reviews - Examining Information Governance case, issues and incidents and the impact on the organisation * Wider Legislation - Placing Information Governance in a wider legislative context. * Information Governance Audit - Examining the need for an information governance audit and how this can be implemented. |
