NHS Lanarkshire’s strategic command group has approved the use of the GP Vision system remote access software, ‘Vision Anywhere’ (VA). This will allow the user to remotely access a single GP practice’s Vision system or multiple practices’ systems, where practices agree to share their data for that purpose.
Fraser McLellan, head of digital, strategy and governance, said: “This is a great investment for NHS Lanarkshire and this software will be crucial for contingency purposes. It means that staff working in GP practices can access systems remotely, to ensure a continuity of service.
“This will build on the successful trial which ran in treatment rooms in the Hamilton locality from September 2021. It will also facilitate a technical solution to locality-based contingency arrangements, which will strengthen the current buddying contingency arrangements.”
Further updates will be provided in future editions of The Pulse.
