IBJ Health & Technology Ltd
Dr Jackson formed IBJ Health & Technology Ltd in 2013. We provide expertise across several health sectors from day surgery and ambulatory care, patient safety and the clinical safety process in the design and implementation of software in the NHS.
National and International experience
He was elected to the Council of the British Association of Day Surgery in 1994 and was appointed Honorary Treasurer in 1997. He then became the Editor of the Journal of One-Day Surgery in 2000 a post he held until he was appointed as President Elect in 2004. He was President of BADS 2006 – 2008. He then joined the Executive Council of the International Association for Ambulatory Surgery, edited their journal Ambulatory Surgery and was their President 2013-2015. He continues to support the IAAS with major EU projects and manages their websites (www.theiaas.net and www.ambulatorysurgery.org) and facilitating online scientific meetings (Congress Spring 2021).
Where it started
Dr Jackson became Clinical Lead for Day Surgery in York in 1991. He redeveloped and increased the size of the day surgery unit as day surgery became more important to the Trust. The last redevelopment created a leading edge facility with 6 theatres (including laminar flow theatre) and a specialised extended stay area to enable larger procedures to be performed throughout the day.
He gained considerable management experience with 2 periods as Clinical Director of Theatres, Day Surgery, Intensive Care and Outpatients.
Clinical Informatics and Safety
Dr Jackson became Clinical Safety Officer in 2011 following completion of the Clinical Safety Officer training. The role was expanded to that of a fulltime Chief Clinical Information Officer in 2012 with the aim of combining the risk assessment and safe design and implementation of IT systems across the hospital with a new role of acting as a link between Clinical colleagues and our Systems and Network Service which includes the Information and Coding Teams. York Teaching Hospital has its own in house developed IT system with a very active development team – this required the development of a risk management system that deals both the development (DCB0129) and the deployment of our systems (DCB0160). Extensive experience in managing the safe design and implementation of health software was gained in working in this hybrid system.
Experience in implementing an IT system in a hospital with little or no IT was gained when York took over Scarborough Hospital. He supported this successful project and gained extensive experience of working with clinical colleagues to ensure the safe implementation of systems across 3 hospital sites.
