NHS Fife Lists 90 Per Cent of Staff in U.K. National NHS Directory

Overview

NHS Fife is responsible for maintaining and improving the health of the population of Fife, Scotland. Identity management and synchronisation is a major challenge for NHS Fife due to the number of users of e-mail messaging systems (7,000 in total). To comply with directives from NHS Scotland, it is necessary for NHS Fife to have all staff on the United Kingdom national NHS directory system. With help from dns, NHS Fife implemented the solution using the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 development system and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition for data storage.
