Implementing NEMS interoperability

Implementing NEMS and managing the information it provides involves reviewing and changing your business processes, updating information governance documents, training staff and more. Each organisation needs to identify someone to act as a project / implementation manager who will bring together the staff needed to carry out the work. The project can often be completed in as little as six weeks to three months, depending on the resources and time you allocate to it.

Implementation involves four key areas of work, each comprising some component tasks:

  1. Prerequisites
  2. Planning
  3. Local readiness
  4. Go live/post go live - managing the live service

This guide will take you through the different tasks involved in each of these areas. You can work on many of these tasks at the same time, rather than one after the other. Different people or teams might be best placed to take responsibility for each set of tasks.

The appendices to this guide provide some additional reference material to support your NEMs implementation.  Your Implementation Manager can provide further advice and support on using these.
