title: How to use the picnic results.
abstract: Integrity Consulting Partners (ICP) is an independent consulting firm, specialising in healthcare ICT support, with a range of major projects delivered for European public healthcare clients in the areas of systems specification and design, procurement and project management of system implementations. ICP has had a strategic relationship with the General Medical Services (Payments) Board (GMS(P)B) in Ireland over a six year period, and has undertaken many key projects for the Board during that time. Accordingly, when the GMS(P)B became a partner in PICNIC, ICP were contracted to assist in the delivery of the project. In Phase 2 of PICNIC, when the GMS(P)B became the PICNIC Project Co-ordinator, project management and technical support in this role were provided by ICP. David Piggott lead the firm's work on PICNIC and facilitated the development of many key PICNIC deliverables, including the PICNIC Architecture and Exploitation Strategy. This chapter summarises the recommended approach to the implementation of the PICNIC concepts and standards, including a suggested way forward for procuring support on the deployment of the PICNIC products.
