Regional IS governance
Integrated, multi-disciplinary, executive level governance and leadership is critical to support the delivery of the Midland Regional Information Services Plan (MRISP) and other regional IS initiatives.
Additionally, there is a need for strong clinical leadership and governance across the multiple activities in the clinical programme of work, however, given the work demands and time pressure that clinical leaders find themselves under, this leadership needs to be applied judicially to ensure maximum return on the time invested.
With this in mind, a delineation of the governance applied to MRISP work programmes has been applied to ensure strong executive leadership is in place across all activities, and that the outcomes from the time available from the clinical leaders is maximised.
The regional IS governance arrangements are tailored in relation to the needs of the various programmes of work in the Midland region, and are aligned to the Midland Coordinated Services model structure.
