“We advise empowering every employee to become a risk ambassador by embedding risk awareness within the overall culture ”
SIMON MCNAIR DIRECTOR , PUBLIC SECTOR SALES , IRON MOUNTAIN EMEA
Hospitals and data storage Iron Mountain has been working with the NHS , the largest public sector employer in the United Kingdom and one of the world ' s largest employers of highly skilled workers .
“ In the last few years , we ’ ve been digitising patient records ,” explains McNair . “ More recently , we ' ve had an opportunity to support some of the GP-based reforms around primary care . This was about the digitisation of some of those physical records that you see in the doctor ' s surgeries . In digitising those records , we can free up space , help to drive some efficiency and reduce some of that administrative burden on the healthcare sector .”
One Iron Mountain collaboration is on the secondary care side with Barnsley Hospital NHS foundation Trust . “ We worked on a major digitisation project in digitising 180,000 medical records . They are securely scanned and then put into an electronic document records management system . The aim of that project essentially is to provide the clinicians with an intuitive digital workflow that supports care planning and to build multi-user systems
