ReStart’s interoperability experts support healthcare leaders in the ‘Great’ North East region
Integrations to the Great North Care Record
The Great North Care Record is the high-profile programme for sharing patient information for over 3.2 million people living in the North East and North Cumbria (NENC). The information recorded about people’s health and care to staff across health and care sectors, such as diagnoses and treatments, makes an important impact on the delivery of care by supporting availability of the right information in the right place, at the right time.
County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust
Following the successful deployment of SystemC Medway, ReStart were invited to provide further support to County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CD&DFT) for their work sharing clinical data and outcomes through the Great North Care Record, underpinned by Cerner Health Information Exchange (HIE), we were able to connect patient information from GP, local hospitals, social care, community and mental health teams in one place. This was a fantastic collaboration of health and social care organisations across the North East and North Cumbria, providing an integrated care record, accessed under direct care only, for the people living in the region. The successful deployment was underpinned by ReStart’s integration expertise, system architecture and data migration tools.
The solution allowed CD&DFT to share data such as ADT, episodes, in/outpatient, radiology results (textual), pathology results (textual and numeric), clinical documents, A&E (ADT/DS) and medications. The migration of data and ongoing integration of system wide data gives staff a complete overview of a patient’s care record, supporting a joined-up approach to care through access to more accurate data, in real-time.
North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust (NTHFT)
As a result of ReStart’s ongoing and trusted integration support relationship with North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust (NTHFT), we were invited to deliver the Trust’s integration with the Great North Care Record for Patient Engagement Portal and Clinical Documentation. This initiative aimed at extending the scope of the shared care record throughout the North East region to deliver further benefits. ReStart developed multiple interfaces from NTHFT’s Health Connect Integration Engine enabling the Trust to share patient demographics, visits, appointments, and allergy information with the Great North Care Record.
Wider Benefits
Integration with the Great North Care Record has realised the shared focus on improving the health and wellbeing of the region’s population. By working together and sharing technology and data, North East and Cumbria ICS can make better use of the resources it has as well as making it easier to work ‘at scale’ when working on issues that are bigger than one organisation.
Working with ReStart has allowed the Trusts to have access to a pool of integration resources and improved insights to support their interoperability goals. ReStart can also provide 24/7/365 integration support with access to a dashboard view for internal IT departments to view activity in real-time.
ReStart has worked with 49% of NHS Trusts, providing 24/7 integration support to 20% of Trusts and currently working in over 50% of ICS’s. ReStart’s team of interoperability experts and solutions connect healthcare leaders across all regions.
