Request

We’re interested in finding out how the Trust currently manages your clinical photography, and I am hoping you can please help by providing information on the following:

1. Do you have a solution to capture clinical photography?
   Yes

2. If so which solution and what media types does it support?
   Islacare
    
3. Does this solution include clinical staff capturing photographs as part of the patient care episode? e.g. Nursing staff photographing bedsores during an inpatient stay (per the current safeguarding guidelines) or A&E capturing photographs of injuries on a night shift.
   Yes

4. Is this a patient centric solution that clinicians can access at the point of care to review photographs or other digital content e.g. videos.
   Yes

5. If you do have a solution, when does your existing contract come to an end
   November 2024

6. How much did the solution cost and what are the annual maintenance charges?
   Section 43(2) (Commercial Interest)
   The Trust has refused to make any disclosures to this section of your request as the Trust is currently in the middle of a procurement process for a system-wide digital image handling solution. This is deemed to be commercially sensitive information. This section of your request is therefore refused and is subject to a refusal notice under s43(2) (Commercial Interests) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

7. If you do not have a solution, how do you current manage this?
   Non-Applicable
