NHS CfH approve Ideal training modules assessed by Health Informatics Quality Scheme for learning and development
Ideal has received approval from NHS CfH for a further three modules from their Care Information System User Competencies and Qualifications (CIS UCQ) courses, submitted to the Health Informatics Quality Scheme for learning and development (NHS HIQS) panel for consideration in May 2009.
Course modules provided by Ideal on Cerner Millennium, RiO and Choose and Book have been successfully assessed and recognised by the HIQS as meeting rigorous organisational quality standards set by the NHS.
This builds upon Ideal's successful application at the end of last year when they became the first commercial company in the UK, recognised by the NHS Connecting for Health, to achieve HIQS recognition. Ideal already has approval for course modules on PACS and Information Governance.
The recognition of these three additional modules reinforces Ideal's committment to ensuring its approach to training and development is aligned to NHS standards and values.
Phil Mason, Programme Manager for Health Informatics Development with NHS Connecting for Health supports Ideal's application. He commented, "We are delighted that Ideal has built upon their entry stage of recognition and continues to demonstrate their commitment to providing and maintaining high organisational standards. We are particularly stringent in our assessment processes. Any organisation gaining HIQS recognition has successfully proved exceptionally high quality standards of company processes, procedures and service. We look forward to continuing to work with Ideal as they seek recognition for more of their modules".
Ideal feels their successful application reflects the company's commitment to deliver a Health Centric education, training and development service.
Andrew Raynes, Director of Education Quality and Accreditation at Ideal and former Head of Education Training and Development for the NHS Southern Programme for IT (SPfIT), comments, "We are in challenging but exciting times. We believe this recognition of our awards and qualification as part of the CIS UCQ will continue to develop interest and support for our courses and partnership programmes. There is a need for greater capability and capacity through widening participation in order to help the NHS realise the full benefits of technology enabled change and which provide new knowledge and skills to support much needed employment, workforce development and career oppoortunities in Health Informatics."
