The Clinical Informatics Service (CIS) is a new service set up by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, with support from the Maudsley Charity. It brings together clinical, technical and research expertise from the Trust, the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London.
The CIS team works closely with the Clinical Records Interactive Search (CRIS) team in the NIHR Maudsley BRC. The CIS supports the NIHR Maudsley BRC Informatics theme by using data-driven insights to transform clinical care and address inequalities.
The service aims to develop our visualisation platform Locating Useful Clinical Information (LUCI), to support clinicians and service planners in using data to: release time to care; identify and address unmet needs and motivate action on inequalities.
At the Trust level, the service aims to provide a sustainable and responsive, operational service within the Trust; to develop the Trust’s capacity in Population Health Management; and Build clinical informatics expertise and wider data literacy in our workforce.
