Strategies

Community Care Support Services (CCSS)

The CCSS is a multi million pound scheme based on a strategy to provide a single health and social care record for all Manx citizens whether they are treated on the Isle of Man or elsewhere, e.g. the UK. Through secure, authenticated links a full health and social care record will be created that will permit relevant carers in primary care, hospital or social services, access to relevant information and records to assist in the delivery of care. The project is phased with the hospital being the first element, closely followed by linking in GPs, Pharmacists and other primary care carers. The final phase will be linking in social services. Starting in Summer 2006 the project will take several years to complete and will enable the IOM DHSS to share appropriate information with accredited care providers .

Centralisation of GP IT Services

This is another key project which links into the CCSS. The objective of this project is to implement a secure, robust infrastructure for GP surgeries within the Government Wide Area Network, using a single GP application, which will be hosted and managed centrally.
