The VisionWare Information Sharing Framework (ISF) enables the secure, electronic sharing of agreed levels of information about children, young people, adults, older people and families in a multi-agency environment, including social services, education, police and NHS, in order to improve the provision of care services.

It provides a solution to enhance and support the sharing of information on an individual or family to ensure that up-to-date information can be accessed by authorised personnel and that care can be delivered in the most appropriate and cost effective way.

• The ISF is designed around a client index, underpinned by MultiVue Identification Server, showing key information for all relevant individuals, such as name, address, date of birth and GP etc.
• A real-time contact history is displayed within each client record, showing information such as GP details, next of kin, main carer as well as details of professionals who have been involved with that individual.
• A chronology of significant events, positive outcomes and relevant factors as well as referral and assessment history for each individual is viewable directly from the host systems.  Referrals and common assessments can also be completed within the ISF.
• Strict consent controls ensure that only relevant consensual information is shared, and permission based security ensures automatic tracking and monitoring of users and their interactions with the system.
• A secure messaging facility enables the team of professionals working with an individual or family to easily communicate with each other and share relevant reports and information.

• Delivery of tailored care programmes and improved outcomes for individuals and their families through the ability to easily identify a client's needs.
• Ensuring professionals provide clients with the care they need as early as possible through access to a history of previous referrals and integrated assessments, and access to rapid, effective and secure communication between professionals to ensure early intervention.
• Reductions in staff visits to carry out multiple assessments by facilitating common assessments on clients and their families across a multi-agency environment, resulting in an increased level of service, increased efficiencies and reductions in costs.
• The ability to ensure service delivery targets are being met through the automatic production of statistical reports and KPIs.
