An agreement to share patient data struck between a specialist trust and a start-up company does not comply with NHS England guidance, HSJ has discovered.
The 10-year agreement between the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and population health company Naitive Technologies contravenes NHS England and government guidance, which warns against granting “exclusive” use of patient data to private companies.
RNOH said it is currently in negotiations with Naitive to amend the agreement to reflect current NHS guidance, particularly around the exclusivity issue. It said it had “conducted [itself] appropriately at all times” and taken account of the guidance around exclusivity in subsequently agreed contracts.
