You care for your clients and your staff …but are you taking care of their personal information?
Are you sure you are legally compliant?
We can help (and our help is free)
As a part of the National Better Security Better Care programme, HCPA is now supporting registered care providers to meet required legal requirements for Data Protection standards.
The Data Security Protection Toolkit (DSPT) is an online data protection assessment. Completing the DSPT ensures you are compliant with Data Protection laws, mitigates risks from any nasty data breach fines and is required by Local Authorities, CQC, other contracting bodies.
This service is provided at no cost to the Provider. HCPA will provide virtual/face-to-face information workshops and follow these up with one-on-one support surgeries, where we will work with Providers to complete and publish DSPT.
Benefits:
- Ensures you are operating within the law – This may prevent any nasty GDPR fines
- Meeting CQC regulations, as toolkit linked with KLOEs
- Key to access NHS systems and data– Requirement for NHS/ Secure Mail, Online Proxy medications ordering, System One, iPad, hospital discharge information
- READ this case study showing the benefits of Online Proxy medications ordering
UPDATE – September 2021
- Read the recent case study: “The DSPT is not a theoretical model, the principles of the DSPT need to be applied daily to ensure data is secure.”
- As a response to Covid and Cyber Security risks, the DSPT now part of Government’s Digital Transformation Plan : Click here
