SCI Gateway Product Overview

Product Overview
SCI Gateway is a national system that integrates primary and secondary care systems using familiar yet highly secure Internet technology. SCI Gateway is fully integrated with the GPASS primary care system, enabling GPs to access SCI services on-line and can also be integrated with commercial systems. View the Product Description for a complete overview of the application.

Implementation
At SCI we fully appreciate the organisational and technical complexities associated with adopting a new software system. We provide a comprehensive implementation service to guide you through the installation process and ensure that the system is optimised to meet your needs. An overview of our implementation process for each product is described in the Generic Implementation Plans (see below for details). For further information on the implementation process for SCI Gateway please contact the Account Manager for your area.

Generic Implementation Plan
The SCI Gateway Implementation Plan has been designed to give some indication of the scope of work required to implement each of the products. The plan serves as a general guide only, as implementation for each site will vary dependent upon requirements and available resources. Since there is scope for great variation of resources no time frames have been added to the plan; these can be discussed with the relevant SCI Implementation Manager.

SCI Gateway pre-requisites
The SCI Gateway pre-requisites paper has been provided to inform potential users, of SCI Gateway, of the pre-requisites for its use. Given that the key driver for Gateway is ECCI, most of the pre-requisites are generalised towards ECCI and represent potential changes to working practice, local infrastructure and agreement between clinicians. As such they represent significant challenges. The intended audience is ECCI and equivalent Board-based clinical, technical and management staff.

Approved GP IT systems
