The board of directors is responsible for the day to day operation and management of the hospital. It is made up of: executive and non voting directors who are all full time members of staff and have responsibility for a specific area of the trust’s business. Non executive directors who bring their external experience and an independent eye to decision making and management. The board is fully committed to providing the highest standards of care and experience for king's patients and staff. It closely monitors the trust's performance to ensure that internal and external objectives and targets are met. If you have a question you would like to put to the board of directors please email it to the foundation trust office on kch [email protected] stating at which meeting you would like your question to be asked in the subject line.

Papers from the trust rsquo s may board meeting reveal that nhs london is not providing transitional funding of 7m for cerner as planned and identify imperial's failure to deploy millennium on time as a 'key risk'. The trust deployed the first module of its millennium project ndash order communications as part of npfit in september 2011. A report to the audit and risk committee meeting in march of this year reveals that a tentative go live was then set for august 2013. However, imperial confirmed to ehi this week that phase two will not go ahead until 2014.

Ldquo the trust is taking a rigorous approach to assuring that the system will be ready to be taken into live operation, and that staff will be fully prepared, rdquo a spokesperson said. Ldquo we anticipate that the go live date for the pas and maternity module will be in 2014. Rdquo the trust rsquo s annual plan for 2013 2014, published as part of its may 2013 board papers, says that nhs london did not provide transitional funding of 7m for cerner as planned, but this was offset by net improvements in other income and costs. An imperial spokesperson did not provide any detail about why the 7m was not provided. The document says imperial planned to spend 4.5m on the cerner implementation this year and identifies failure to implement the cerner pas and maternity system within agreed time scales as a lsquo key risk rsquo. It says the trust has established a cerner programme board with the chief operating officer as the senior responsible officer ldquo testing and repeat testing is underway with a go live date to be agreed, rdquo it says.

The impact of not deploying cerner means the trust is unable to produce quality data including performance data. It also impacts upon services provided to patients and incurs financial losses, the papers say. Another london trust due to get cerner under npfit, croydon health services nhs trust, was due to go live in late 2012. last updated: 29 july 2013 1 2016 digital health intelligence limited.
