PRACTITIONER TOOLKIT
The HCIIF™
Practitioner Toolkit.
Twenty connected, proportionate record patterns that help practitioners apply HCIIF through one coherent evidence spine.
Practical records.
Connected evidence.
The toolkit translates the twenty Practitioner Guide chapters into usable record patterns.
The tools can be implemented within existing programme, risk, data, records, service, supplier, AI or assurance systems. You can follow the primary route to establish scope and confidence, and draw on specialist tools when they are useful.
The catalogue introduces HCIIF’s twenty connected record patterns. The full tools are reserved for collaboration, with opportunities to explore their application and development through focused discussions and pilots.
Twenty tools.
One evidence spine.
Start with the question that matters to your organisation, choose the records you need and keep the connections between them visible.
