Updated training – Information Sharing and Security Module

tonymcdougal

We have now modified our “Information Sharing and Security” mandatory module to try and make it less burdensome for health and social care professionals.

Although, it doesn’t technically reduce the content of the module, it does cut the number of slides by around a dozen in the menu. It also provides a different, interactive way to deliver some of the content, which may help those taking part in the training.

The action follows criticism and a certain reluctance to undertake the mandatory training module.

Dorset Care Record training modules can be found on the DCR page of Dorset Learning On Line.

Mandatory Training – An Overview

tonymcdougal

DCR is continually updating and adding training modules for users.

Currently there are nine modules:-

Information Sharing and Security (mandatory)

Introduction

Navigation

Radiology, Pathology and Referrals

Allergies

Discharge Medications

Collaborative Worklists

Maternity Pathway – Midwives

Maternity Pathway – Admin

 

ONLY THE INFORMATION SHARING AND SECURITY MODULE IS MANDATORY.  This is not a Data Protection (DP) and Information Governance (IG) module, although it does touch on both but only as a reminder to your organisation’s DP and IG training.

Accessing the DCR allows personal data from all the DCR partners to be viewed by users. The purpose of this mandatory module is:-

  • To understand the legal responsibilities of viewing records on DCR
  • To understand user responsibility to protect information particularly as the personal data is from different organisations
  • To understand how to record an information sharing discussion – mandatory training is one of the stipulations from the Information Commissioners Officer which enabled DCR to move away from a consent model
  • To understand the opt out process
  • To understand the security measures in place to protect personal data in the DCR

 

Access to the DCR is given on successful completion of the mandatory training assessment.

The training is on-line for the most part but facilitated e learning can be arranged from time to time to enable staff to move away from their workplace to undertake the training.

It is difficult to give an exact time for the duration of the training as everyone is different but on average it takes approximately 45 minutes to complete the mandatory module.

When a training module is updated the DCR staff website is updated and an email is sent out to all existing users to enable them to update their training where necessary.
