THE QUALITY & IMPROVEMENT BOARD PRESENTS

We are offering TSA members and strategic partners a dynamic opportunity to get involved in shaping a number of TEC sector priorities that need your expertise.

At TSA, we have met with members and other key stakeholders - communicated to us via TSA membership events and ITEC2019 conference - and identified the most critical issues that need attention in the technology enabled care sector and have subsequently created a number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to tackle a range of top line initiatives that will impact significantly on the continual improvement of Technology Enabled Care services.

The Special Interest Groups are:

• SIG 001 Testing of Analogue Alarm Systems on Digital Networks
• SIG 002 Guidance on Use of Fall Detectors
• SIG 003 Interaction with Emergency Services
• SIG 006 TEC Impact of Mobile Telecommunications
• SIG 007 Guidelines for 'Internet of Things' Care Applications
• SIG 008 Service Availability and Reliability Standards
• SIG 010 Integrate TEC, Health & Care Services
• SIG 011 Proactive & Preventative TEC
• SIG 012 TEC in Population Health Management
• SIG 013 Remote Monitoring and Virtual Ward
• SIG 014 Risk Management

Impartiality…

The work of the SIGs will have oversight from a Programme Board made up of independent members and members from the TEC industry, all chaired by TSA’s CEO, Alyson Scurfield, with an additional Quality and Impartiality Committee.

Agile…

The hot topics will change with time, will respond directly to what is needed within the sector and will exist only for as long as they are needed, with the objective of producing (as a tight team) a targeted piece of work.

Your time…

Most SIGs will require just a few hours per month.

Some SIGs may require two layers of participation those who will form part of the core team and a second layer to help critique guidance documents and reports.

Please contact admin@tsa-voice.org.uk OR 01625 520320 to register your interest.

A last word…

The outcomes of the SIGs rely fundamentally on your participation and feedback – this is a dynamic forum that will adapt to the needs and latest issues that arise from the wider sector:

- We want to know: what are the challenges you are facing?

- What sector changes are needed to help meet your objectives?

And so, TSA is offering an open invitation for candidates to put themselves forward to participate and volunteer on the existing SIGs or offer to lead on new SIG categories.

This is Partnerships in Action.

Thank you.
