The PRIMIS Training Agenda
Information Governance
With increasing emphasis on confidentiality and security in health care, this module
is based on the policy and legal context of Caldicott, the Data Protection Act,
BS7799 and the Freedom of Information Act. Facilitators gain an understanding of
risk management and information governance, and how these interact with the
PRIMIS process and agreements.
Path to Paperless
This module provides facilitators with guidance on the legal considerations and
protocols required to be able to support their practices through the transition from
paper to electronic patient records.
Data Quality and Patient Safety
Facilitators learn about the role of the National Patient Safety Agency and the
safety features inherent in GP clinical computer systems, as well as the impact of
data quality on patient safety.
Supporting Quality Outcomes
This module helps facilitators to guide practices in implementing the quality and
outcomes framework of the new GMS contract. The training provides an
understanding of the structure, process and outcomes for each of the clinical
indicators and the ten disease areas in the clinical domain.
Supporting Quality Services
This training session looks at changes to the provision of primary health care
services in the new GMS contract. It focuses on particular issues around Directed
Enhanced Services and National Enhanced Services so that facilitators can help
practices with data recording.
Supporting Quality Review
Facilitators are given an overview of the recording and review arrangements for the
new GMS contract and an awareness of the data needed to support the reporting
and verification process.
Primary Care Data Uses and Abuses
This module helps facilitators and others in their PCO to understand how to use
aggregated primary care data to support their work, as well as becoming aware of
some of the pitfalls to avoid.
