TheMinistry of Defencehas launched its
£5mIncident Recording Information System
(IRIS)to improve the health and safety of
300,000 personnel.
IRIS has been rolled out across 1,000 users in the MoD and
includes an information capture tool, a workflow tool and a
management reporting tool.
IRIS will also be used to improve the processing of health and
safety claims.
Richard Hatfield, the MoD's director of personnel, said the MoD
project team and the prime IT services contractor Logica had
delivered IRIS on time, within budget and to specification.
IRIS is based on software from Norwegian supplier Omniware,
which was implemented by Logica, which will continue to support and
maintain the system under a 10-year service contract worth £5m.
Logica is also implementing the MoD's defence medical
information capability programme (DMICP) to make military medical
records accessible to authorised users across the UK, overseas and
on the battlefield.
The DMICP is scheduled to be rolled out to all UK Army medical
facilities, RAF, Royal Navy, Defence Dental Services and permanent
overseas bases by August 2008.
