Keeping your data safe
At Decision Data, we recognise the tremendous trust placed in the NHS to handle sensitive information.
We're fully committed to protecting this data while utilising routinely collected information to enhance patient care.
For the AST, we only use:
-
Fully anonymised patient data.
-
Staff data is processed only with their consent.
By using this data, our goal is to better understand the accuracy of growth scans during pregnancy.
At Decision Data, we also uphold the following principles:
We will never sell patient or staff data.
We enforce strict access controls, ensuring that only authorised individuals can view results.
Our team is highly qualified and rigorously trained in data security protocols.
We adhere to the NHS Code of Conduct for digital and data-driven health technologies (2021).
Secure File Uploader
To ensure the highest level of data protection, we’ve developed cutting-edge technology called the Secure File Uploader. This benefits of this are:
Easy anonymisation
Clinicians can quickly anonymise large datasets before sending them for analysis. The tool ensures patient data is fully anonymised, adhering to strict Information Commissioner’s Office standards, making re-identification impossible.
Strong encryption
Data is encrypted securely before transmission, ensuring it remains unreadable if accessed by unauthorised parties.
Seamless integration
Clinicians can pull data from multiple electronic record systems like Viewpoint and Badgernotes, ensuring we're working with the correct patient information.
