Data Warehouse

Our existing NHS clients must share a basic level of data with their main ICS (Integrated Care System). They have chosen a Federated Model over a single centralised data repository in a regional external HIE solution, due to the sensitivity of some patient data. In this model, they maintain their own local FHIR-based data repository on-premises and provide a reference to the file to the regional HIE.

 

19. There are three main architecture patterns for delivering a Shared Care Record to share data with the ICS. Please identify the Trust’s chosen option:
    a. Centralised Model – Data is stored in a centralised, consolidated data repository. Data shared by HIE participants is normalised, housed in, and accessed from a central data repository.
     
20. Does the Trust currently have a data repository for the above requirement if selecting b or c?
    N/A
     
21. If yes, is it FHIR-based?
    N/A
     
22. What is the name of the product?
    N/A
     
23. Who is the supplier?
    N/A
     
24. When is the contract renewal date?
    N/A
     
25. Is the Trust looking to purchase a data repository?
    N/A
     
26. If yes, when does it plan to purchase it?
    N/A
     
27. Who is responsible for sourcing the data repository? (Please provide name, email, and phone number if possible.)
