Legacy and toxic technology

Many NHS trusts and other healthcare providers still rely on aging, or 'legacy' IT systems and infrastructure that cannot support the demands of a mobile, data-intensive neighbourhood model (e.g. poor Wi-Fi, outdated hardware).

Boards may wish to consider whether: 

• There has been a recent audit to identify whether current infrastructure can support neighbourhood working.
• There is a plan in place to upgrade and implement necessary infrastructure and hardware, including ensuring latest security controls are in place.
