EDRMS?

• The storage and management of documents and records in electronic form

• Uses specialised software – the electronic filing cabinet – but enables much more

• Enables delivery of benefits in terms of improved working practices and efficiencies of business processes

So what is it all about?

For the 10 offices that moved to Apsley 1 there was

2,115metres of paper filing

At Apsley 1

There was only space for

968 metres

of paper filing !!

Making The Business Case / Making it Happen

• For Apsley 1 we reduced office storage by 54% (35% - 88%) (but we plan to do better!)– Only 2 areas are currently used for storage of

active client files and these will shortly not be required

– Each staff member has only 1 metre personal storage space

Do we need to convert all our paper ?

705801

Active Closed

• NO – For Apsley 1 Over 50% of the records were closed

• These can be archived off-site

• The rest was either recycled or kept electronically

The Benefits for Hertfordshire ?• Improved processes - e.g. enforcing workflow and

approval associated with particular document types• Efficiencies – less paper storage, reduced

administration/postage and logistics costs, documents can be accessed by more than one member of staff at any one time.

• Meeting government targets (e.g. Electronic Social Care Record)

• Supports Freedom Of Information • Records only destroyed when appropriate• Legal admissibility no longer an issue in most areas – will

support effective retrieval of key documents in such cases

Key Principles At HCC• We ARE using a single corporate system • That Corporate System is already licensed for

HCC = Hyperwave (records management society accredited)

• All new systems acquisitions are stating use of Hyperwave as obligatory – e.g. Hermis replacement

• Documents and Records will be stored according to HCC classification scheme (see Connect)

• Documents and Records will only be deleted in line with HCC Disposal Scheme (see Connect)

Current Projects - The Electronic Social Care Record

• All client files were held in paper form• Government requirements stipulate moving to

electronic records• CSF and Adult Care now actively engaged in

“Hyperwaving” those key files• Care Workers to access electronic care files

directly from the IRIS system (automated link)• Electronic files structured in similar way to original

paper files

Moving to the electronic social care record• New secure structure has been implemented in

Hyperwave• Active client files are being scanned and indexed• When documents are created they are saved directly into

the system (ie straight from word, excel)• Incoming information on paper is being scanned

Progress to date• Hyperwave document management live - 29 August 2006• Scanning operation in place in Apsley • Back-scanning of files for Apsley 1 and 2 commenced start

June 2006• CSF – training started mid June 2006• Scanning of files for Apsley 2 will continue through to

December 2006 – One third of all CSF files already scanned.

• Adult Care scanning has commenced (August)• Two CSF teams live a further three going live 15th

September

Issues

• Tensions over appropriate security levels – legal versus operational position

• Engagement of staff in departments – this is NOT primarily an IT project (the IT is already in place)

• Maintaining cross county scanning operations (monotonous work but with high responsibility and security clearance)

• Take up of training – requisite basic ICT skills

Where Next?• Completion of roll-out to ALL CSF and ACS staff• Hermis and all other systems replacement projects to

embrace Hyperwave Document management forthwith• ALL departments to establish implementation teams to

engage with corporate team – engagement underway with Fire and Environment

• An end to storage on “drives” C:/ H:/ S:/ etc. All documents will be stored in Hyperwave

• Vision – Target to achieve complete adoption across HCC (stand alone documents and systems) by end of fin year 2007/8!

What will it achieve in the future?

• Necessary to continue meeting government targets and obligations

• Lays common foundations for further document/process work

• Enables TWWW vision – e.g. cannot achieve staff to space ratio without it.
