1 Purpose
This report is to provide EMT with a proposed IT Work Plan for 2010-11 to ensure
projects are in line with the Trust’s business plans and allow prioritisation of available
resources to support Trust developments and change programmes. The agreed plan
will also need to align with the proposed capital programme for 2010-11 managed
through the Investment Planning Group.
2 IM&T
Strategy
The Trust’s IM&T Strategy for the period 2007 to 2011 was approved by the Board in
February 2008. The development of the strategy encompassed the strategic
objectives of the Trust and the associated Foundation Trust requirements and was
aligned with the Integrated Business Planning process.
The strategy set out a series of projects with indicative timescales for implementation.
This has been used to further develop the IT work plan for 2010-11 alongside the
requirements identified within this year’s business planning process.
It is anticipated that a new IM&T strategy will need to be developed during 2010-11
based on, and supporting, the new Trust Integrated Business Plan for the next 5
years, 2011-15.
3 NHS
Operational
Framework
The NHS Operating Framework for 2010/11 sets out the key health informatics
themes to support the transformation of health services, and in particular to take
forward the Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) agenda:
connecting all, supporting new models of care, impacting transaction costs and
integrated planning and performance. These Informatics planning requirements have
been used to further inform the Trust’s IT work plan and priorities.
4
IT Resourcing for the Work Plan
IT resources for project work are available from four main areas;
• Operations Team for new technology based projects,
• Desktop Services Team for PC based projects,
• Voice & Data Services Team for IT provision on new sites & site
changes,
• Systems Development, Project management and Business Analysis
Teams for information systems projects.
The table below shows the current IT resources with an estimate of average
availability for projects compared to the mainstream day to day support and
maintenance work. It should be noted that smaller requirements are automatically
handled by the appropriate teams as part of the normal IT work request process.

The IT department also has a non-pay budget of approximately £1 Million which is
committed to ongoing IT maintenance and support costs. This has been
supplemented in 2010-11 with funding for the revenue consequences of infrastructure
projects which consists of:
• 47K Support and maintenance costs of the citrix upgrade
• 146K Part year costs for WAN Upgrade
With the current large allocation of IT resources and IT management time dedicated
to the RiO project the capacity within IT to undertake additional projects within the
available IT resources is limited for the 2010-11 financial year. However as additional
project funding is available, allowing additional contract IT staff to be recruited, this
has allowed some extra projects to be included in the work plan.
The additional revenue funding identified for 2010-11 projects consists of:
• 200K Allocation for the IT Work Plan
• 130K Travel Expenses Project.
It should be noted that there are risks associated with the contractor approach that
will need to be considered and managed mainly relating to the current shortfall in IT
staff accommodation and the IT management capacity to recruit to, and manage, the
additional staff and projects.
5
IT Systems Development Projects
The following development and change projects have been identified for potential
inclusion in the IT Work Plan for 2010-11.
5.1 Committed
Projects
The following projects are either underway or mandated with funding and
resources committed.

Workplan 2010-11 Version 1.doc
Page 7 of 18
IT Workplan 2010-11
Version: Draft 0.4
5.1.1 RiO
Implementation
The Full Business Case (FBC) for the implementation of RiO was approved by
the Trust Board in November 2009. The programme is already well underway
and will run through to March 2011. This is a major programme of work that
includes the following projects:
• Creation of a Registration Authority.
• Infrastructure upgrade to NPfIT requirements
• Implementation of ITIL based service management including the
replacement of the helpdesk system and introduction of a telephone call
management system
• Development of a Data Warehouse & reporting solution
• RiO system implementation including data migration, system
configuration, testing, go-live and roll-out.
• Business process transformation and change management.
• Clinical record redesign
As this is a major objective for the Trust it is expected that this will continue to
require prioritisation of IT resources for 2010-11.
5.1.2 Electronic Staff Changes
This development project has been identified as a requirement by both the
RiO and work structures projects and also in recommendations from a recent
internal audit report into HR processes. The requirement is to further develop
web based forms with full authorisation processes to manage staff and team
changes and integrate them with all corporate systems (e.g. RiO, ESR and
eFIN).
5.1.3 Care Clusters and PBR Interim System
As the RiO system does not yet support the recording of care clusters and
PBR there is a requirement to provide an appropriate interim solution to
record the HoNOS and cluster data to enable payment by results and support
the Trust’s service redesign work. Initial design work is underway. This is a
requirement from the 2010-11 operating framework.
5.1.4 Medical Devices Register
NCAS has identified the requirement for a medical devices register to store
asset and maintenance information for our medical devices many of which are
managed through a number of SLAs with other Trusts. This will require the
procurement and implementation of a new system.
5.1.5 Ward to Board - CQC Evidence System
NCAS has identified the requirement for a system to store and retrieve
evidence for our CQC registration. An interim solution has been identified
whilst an investigation to define requirements for a corporate solution is
undertaken.

Workplan 2010-11 Version 1.doc
Page 8 of 18
IT Workplan 2010-11
Version: Draft 0.4
5.1.6 Business Expenses System
As part of the CRES plans the People and operations directorates have
identified a requirement for a system to better collect, manage and monitor
travel and sundry expenses. Initial investigations have identified potential
options for procurement of a managed service which will require some IT
involvement in the project.
5.1.7 Ourspace - Phase 2
Introduction of Knowledge Management, collaboration tools, ward and team
sites – inclusive of digital dashboards (arising out of data warehouse created
through RiO implementation).
5.1.8 HR Call/Case Management System
The People directorate has identified a requirement for a system to support a
new service centre approach and manage a supporting knowledge base of
HR advice and guidance. The requirements specification and initial
investigations into potential solutions are underway using contract resources.
5.1.9 Sickness Absence Monitoring and Assurance System
The People directorate has identified a requirement for a system to provide an
Absence Monitoring and Assurance application. This would be the
development of a web based system by which team's absences are recorded
and more importantly, that AWP evidence that the appropriate action has
been undertaken e.g. they have conducted a return to work interview. This
would eventually be part pf the HR call/case management system but would
initially be a standalone system due to the urgency of the requirements.
5.2
Requested Systems Development Projects
5.2.1 Sustainable Travel Project
This sustainability project includes the requirement for two new systems. A
system for managing staff vehicle document checking and a system for pool
car booking & management for access to pool cars via an online booking
system and the cars to have transponders to report back on their use.
5.2.2 PSCAL
Costing
System
This project could build on the implementation of PSCAL and reference
costing to enable the Trust to better fulfil the contractual requirements of
reporting to commissioners, delivering Service Line Reporting in line with
Monitor requirements and to develop tariff based reporting for Payment by
Results. The proposed project could further implement the PSCAL system for
service line reporting or consider other alternative to develop the financial
infrastructure to support PBR.
5.2.3 Enhanced Use of RosterPro
This project would be to implement the new “Roster Pro Central” functionality
and further integrate with eFIN, MLE and the ESR system by utilising the
outbound interfaces from ESR.

IT Workplan 2010-11
Version: Draft 0.4
5.2.4 Upgrade
Safeguard
The current Safeguard system uses a proprietary database. A SQL upgrade is
available for implementation which would provide better access to the data
and potentially allow integration with the data warehouse. Interfaces from the
system with MHIS/RiO and ESR need to be redeveloped and enhanced.
5.2.5 Collaborative Financial Budget Planning
The upgrade of the eFinance system in the last financial year included the
purchase of the collaborative planning module. In order to improve the budget
setting process and support financial planning for SBUs this functionality could
be implemented in readiness for the next business planning cycle.
5.2.6 Trust Internet Site Redesign
This project is to replace the current AWP Web Site with a new redesigned
version to better support the requirements of Freedom of Information and
Foundation Trust Status.
5.2.7 Medicines Information System
The Pharmacy Service has identified the requirement for the implementation
of the MiDatabank system to enable Pharmacists to record, manage and store
their pharmacy enquiries. This is the national system that has been adopted
by the UK Medicines Information Network which comprises over 200 centres
in hospitals throughout the UK.
5.2.8 Solicitors
Knowledge
Database
The Trust solicitor has identified the requirement for a knowledge database to
store legal advice received or given and share this across the Trust.
5.2.9 Estates Service Desk
This is a small project to roll-out the in-house developed system for
maintenance requests beyond PFI sites.
5.2.10 Estates Property Register
Following the decision of the Estates Department to not implement the
intranet property register and their development of an interim access database
to meet their requirements a need has been identified to re-develop the
system to allow it to be integrated with data warehouse developments and
allow the information it to be made available across SBUs and Directorates.
5.2.11 Upgrade InfoPath Forms
Following the move to Share point 2007 there is a need to retire all the
InfoPath forms developed in the previous version (SharePoint 2003) and
replace with new 2007 versions.
6
IT Technical Projects
The following projects relate to the maintenance and improvement of the technical
infrastructure that supports the Trusts provision of IT services. The following technical
projects are either underway or are mandated with funding and resources committed.
6.1
Estate Change and Building Infrastructure Projects

Workplan 2010-11 Version 1.doc
Page 10 of 18
IT Workplan 2010-11
Version: Draft 0.4
These are projects that require IT support in relation to the installation, changes
and re-provision of IT core infrastructure on AWP sites as required by estate
changes. IT services are currently involved in the following estates projects that
will continue into 2010-11:
• Acer Unit/Elizabeth Casson “exchange of sites”
• Swindon
reconfiguration
• Withdrawal of CAMHS services from AWP sites
6.2
Wide Area Network Upgrade
A business case has been developed with the Operations Directorate to provide
a “fit for purpose” Wide Area Network for all Trust main bases that will ensure
suitable access to RiO, improve response times for system users and allow the
use of new technologies. It requires significant capital and revenue investment
which has been included within the integrated business plan.
6.3
Infrastructure Replacement Programme
The rolling infrastructure replacement programme is based on the IT
Infrastructure Replacement Policy. The objectives of the policy are to ensure the
Trusts IT infrastructure is kept up to date to ensure its reliability, resilience,
maintainability, and supportability. Ensuring it remains at sufficient specification
to meet both national standards and Trust requirements for efficient use of its
business systems. Business cases have been produced and capital funding
agreed for the following:
6.3.1 Server & Network Infrastructure Replacement
This project to replace servers and network infrastructure equipment at
the end of its lifecycle will require £250K capital allocation in 2010-11.
6.3.2 Citrix
Upgrade
Trust wide roll-out of the replacement Citrix infrastructure procured in
2009/10 and required to support the RiO implementation and thin client
carbon reduction scheme.
6.3.3 Telephone
System
Replacement
This project to replace the telephone systems at Hillview Lodge and 47
The Boulevard which are at the end of their lifecycle will require 110K
capital allocation.
6.3.4 Desktop Systems Replacement
This project to replace a fifth of the Trust’s PCs, laptops and printers
will require a capital allocation of £505K.
6.4
Mobile Working
A project commenced last year with a pilot mobile IT solution, based on 3G
wireless enabled laptops using citrix access and RSA tokens. It will be further
developed to include integration with WiFi technology and an operational trial
undertaken to test the solution in the field. If successful it will require the
associated HR policies to be developed to support any move to mobile and
home based working in readiness for any Trust wide deployment. This

Version: Draft 0.4
development supports the “connect all” ambitions of the 2010-11 operating
framework.
6.5 NHS
Mail
The National NHS Mail System has been migrated to the Microsoft Exchange
platform. This could now provide a replacement to the Trust’s internal email
system which is based on Exchange and Outlook. A project is required to
investigate the feasibility of such a move and if possible prepare the supporting
business case for implementation. This is a requirement of the 2010-11
operating framework.
7
Horizon Scanning - Potential IT Developments
The following new technical developments have been identified which could provide
the potential for new innovative approaches .
7.1
Open Access Network
The Trust’s current network infrastructure is by necessity very secure and
therefore subject to many constraints. In order to provide better access for
service users, partner organisations, students, external trainers etc. this project
would investigate the potential to create a separate “open access network”
based on the existing infrastructure but separate from the core secure network
used by staff to access service user information. This would then allow access
to facilities not available due to security constraints, such as webmail, instant
messaging, web cams, and also allow partner organisation access without the
associated security risks. It would still be possible to access the Trust’s systems
from this open access network securely using the citrix infrastructure when
required. This would be important for the use of mobile devices allowing them to
directly connect to the network on AWP sites.
7.2
In-house Call Centre Technology/Interface with External Call Centre
The integrated business plan includes the provision of a single point of access
for referral management. This is likely to require either the further
implementation of in-house call centre technology or interfacing with an external
call centre provider as part of the service redesign project. This will also have
implications for other future corporate helpdesk service developments.
7.3 Virtual
Clinics
As part of the CAMHS service development the requirement to provide “virtual
clinics” utilising web cams and/or instant messaging was been identified. This
requires the development of appropriate systems and governance measures to
enable the use of this technology. Initial scoping work is required to develop the
service requirements and test the technology in order to prepare a business
case.
7.4
Expansion of Videoconferencing System
A business case was developed and being considered for the further expansion
of videoconferencing across the Trust to provide smaller more mobile systems
to provide wider access for small meetings in support of the carbon reduction
strategy. However it has recently been announced that the Connecting for
Health N3 Supplier, BT, will in the coming year be providing centrally managed
videoconferencing facilities, including support service provision, which should

Workplan 2010-11 Version 1.doc
Page 12 of 18
IT Workplan 2010-11
Version: Draft 0.4
be investigated as a possible cost effective solution for such an expansion
project.
7.5
Estates Access Control System
There is the potential for the Trust to implement a central access control system
to manage security across Trust sites. Historically these have been managed off
the network on a site by site basis with no central co-ordination to ensure
access rights are added changed and removed in an effective and efficient
manner.
7.6
Extend Data Warehouse & Reporting
There is the potential for the exploit the benefits of arising from the introduction
of a Business Intelligence solution via integration with other corporate systems
(e.g. ESR) and presentation via Ourspace.

The Proposed IT Work Plan for 2010-11
The following priorities have been used to develop the IT work plan for 2010-11 from
the identified projects:
• RiO Project work and projects with a direct RiO dependency
• Priorities from the 2010-11 Operating Framework and Trust Action Plans
• Maintaining Business as Usual
• Approved and funded estates capital projects with IT requirements
This prioritisation has been used to produce a resourced IT work plan for 2010-11
shown in Appendix 1. In order to undertake the identified projects in the plan requires
the funding of additional IT resources. This would include a mix of project
management, business analysis and systems development skills for their
implementation plus the requirement for ongoing systems support resources in 2011-
12 and onward for any of the new systems implemented. On the assumption that the
projects are of medium size of around four months duration the indicative resources
needed for each would be:
• Project Manager 0.5 for 4 months
• Business analyst 0.5 for 4 months
• Developer full time (required for in-house solutions) for 3 months
• Ongoing infrastructure/applications support of 0.2 for each system.
This is estimated to be in the region of £200K using PASA agency prices, plus any
capital requirement for system purchases.

Workplan 2010-11 Version 1.doc
Page 13 of 18
IT Workplan 2010-11
Version: Draft 0.4
The remaining projects that cannot be funded/resourced at present are shown in
Appendix 2 with an indication of their likely resource requirements. To undertake
more of these projects as part of the work plan consideration would need to be given
to expanding IT management capacity in addition to funding for the additional project
resources that would be required. Consideration should also be given to the risk of
non delivery of other elements of the work plan from setting a potentially too
challenging IT programme.
As the Trust’s business priorities can change as the year progresses it is suggested
that the IT Work Plan is reviewed quarterly by EMT. This would provide EMT with an
update on progress and allow the revision of the plan to reflect the latest business
priorities and any identified requirements arising from the Programme Improvement
Board.
9
IT Capital Requirement 2010-11
In support of the IM&T Strategy Implementation and the associated IT Work Plan for
2010-11 capital investment requirements have been identified.
9.1

The total amount of capital required in 2010-11 is therefore £2,455. This is
significantly higher than the overall resources identified in the approved
Strategy. The difference is due to the major increases in IT infrastructure and
desktop equipment deployed over the years that now require replacement or
upgrading.
Business cases will be produced for each of these capital projects and
submitted to the investment planning group for recommendation of capital to
EMT and the Trust Board.
10 Recommendations
EMT is recommended to:
• Agree the priorities, projects and additional funding for the proposed IT Work
Plan for 2010-11 to support the implementation of the Trust’s current IM&T
Strategy.
• Identify any further projects (from Appendix 2) required to support the Trust’s
business objectives for 2010-11 that should be costed and further considered
for inclusion in the IT work plan.
• Support the identified capital requirements for IT investment in 2010-11.
• Support the development of a new Trust IM&T strategy for 2011-15.
• Agree to review the IT Work Plan quarterly allowing the revision of the plan to
reflect the latest business priorities and any identified requirements arising
from the Programme Improvement Board.
