Clackmannanshire Council Selects Information Sharing Framework

30 March 2010

VisionWare Ltd, a leading provider of Master Data Management (MDM) solutions, today announced that Clackmannanshire Council has selected their Information Sharing Framework (ISF) to support the aims of the Council's 'Services to People' programme.  This programme has been designed to better meet the needs of the people of Clackmannanshire in terms of education and lifelong learning, housing, social services, criminal justice and adult and child care.

The Council will use VisionWare's ISF to create an ISAS - Information Sharing and Assessment System which will help to unify service delivery, protect and promote the welfare and wellbeing of children, families, adults and communities within Clackmannanshire, and also to achieve the following objectives:

• Promote inclusion;
• Facilitate partnership working;
• Assist in prevention and early intervention; and
• Provide the foundation that will enable future service users to participate in their care provision

ISF enables the secure, electronic sharing of agreed levels of information about individuals and families within a multi-agency environment including social services, education, healthcare and police in order to improve the provision of care services.

The solution, which is underpinned by the award-winning MultiVue Identification Server, will provide Clackmannanshire Council with the following functionality:

• A user interface that gives access to information that is relevant only to each particular user
• An assessment engine to enable common assessments to be allocated, co-ordinated and completed in a systematic yet simple way.
• A data-processing framework which supports the extraction, transformation and mapping of data on a scheduled basis.
• Prism data exploration and visualisation manager to provide an intuitive visual representation of data within an organisation and across a multi-agency environment.

Gordon Cooper, Managing Director at VisionWare commented "We are delighted that Clackmannanshire has chosen to implement our Information Sharing Framework.  Ultimately, this will enable the Council to provide improved outcomes for individuals and their families through the early identification of needs as well as early intervention to ensure they receive care that is appropriate to their needs."

"Our approach to all of our customer projects is one of partnership, and we are looking forward to working with Clackmannanshire to provide a solution that is extendable and scalable, enabling them to achieve both their immediate and ongoing goals for this project."

Grahame Blair, Director, Services to People at Clackmannanshire Council, said "Sharing information safely and promptly is a key component in ensuring our residents of all ages get the help they need when they need it. Our partnership with Visionware will help us take forward the whole person approach we want to implement in Clackmannanshire, and I look forward to the opportunity to make our services to people as efficient and effective as possible."
