CIRIS for Compliance is the state-of-the-art solution for compliance in UK Healthcare. Delivered as a service over the Internet, it can be accessed securely from any PC with an internet connection.
Now you can bring together all of your separate compliance activity streams into one integrated solution, with everyone accessing the same evidence repository, using the same action planning system and reporting compliance the same way. That’s how to become a lot more efficient when money and time are constrained.
Healthcare providers are subject to a myriad of regulations. An NHS trust for example might be subject to inspections from as many as 50 different inspectorates every year. Preparation for these is a significant burden on the organisation, with the consequences of failure to demonstrate compliance having the potential for huge negative impact.
CIRIS for Compliance provides the largest repository of continuously maintained regulations in UK healthcare, currently comprising 2,199 regulations with 31,994 criteria between them. The following regulations are covered:
The typical healthcare provider will have thousands of evidential documents scattered across the organisation in hundreds of shared folders owned and managed by different people. You will be familiar with the ‘nightmare’:
CIRIS for Compliance will bring all the evidence together into one managed repository. Duplicate documents will automatically be removed for you, while powerful search and multi-select facilities will make take the tedium out of cataloguing. And what’s more, sophisticated security can be applied to control who has access to what, reducing risk and stress.
If like most healthcare providers you have all of your action plans in Word and Excel documents, you can use the CIRIS import facility to migrate these into CIRIS giving you one action planning system that is visible to everyone. What a way to communicate a shared vision, promote collaboration, and engage everyone in the process of change!
Having multiple compliance reporting systems not only makes it difficult to compare performance, but consumes your time and energy in design, maintenance and data transfer. With CIRIS, you can report everything in a standardised way and easily distribute your reports to all parties in a secure way.
Having all your policies and procedures on the intranet is a start, but can these be linked with anything else? CIRIS manages the full policy management life cycle, from conception, through to review and publication. Then all of these documents can be linked as evidence with any item in the regulations repository.
Do you manage your audits in a spreadsheet or Access database? Use the CIRIS import facility to migrate all of this data into CIRIS and you can then dispense with these silos of information and have something that integrates with all your compliance activities.
