This includes all 7 Health Boards and 5 of the 6 other statutory Organisational/trusts across Wales.
DHCW is seeking a solution to:
- Authoritatively process audit logs from specified systems to display dashboard information on user behaviour that enables the NHS Wales statutory organisations representative Information Governance leads the ability to understand specific behaviours via a dashboard.
- Reference and integrate with NHS Wales systems to ingest and access audit logs via API connectivity and directly where necessary, referencing key national systems to validate the identity of patient and staff. This information should be attainable in real-time.
- The applications should be scalable and capable of integrating legacy connections and new requirements as they occur.
