Connected Nottinghamshire – Using the MIG to serve more than 1 million patients.
Connected Nottinghamshire are using the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG) to share patient data from all 148 GP practices across Nottinghamshire, regardless of the clinical system used.
Background
With a patient’s explicit permission, clinical healthcare professionals in NEMS CBS Ltd are now provided with real time information about each of their patients.
NEMS CBS Ltd holds contracts to deliver NHS services on behalf of NHS Nottingham City and NHS Nottinghamshire South Clinical Commissioning Groups. They provides a wide range of services for GPs, including out of hours and a local hospital emergency department. They also work closely with all other local services that deliver urgent care, such as East Midlands Ambulance Service, Social Services Emergency Duty Teams and Mental Health Crisis Teams.
How have they benefited?
“The MIG provides a real time calling of a detailed care GP record regardless of the practice a patient is from, this enables you to gain a full and accurate history for patients who for whatever reason cannot give this to you themselves, whether it be dementia, learning difficulties or just general poor historians.
The MIG allows for safe prescribing and more informed diagnosis as a patients full history is known. This allows the clinician to make a more informed diagnosis, by seeing what’s a long term on-going problem and what is new today. This also limits unnecessary tests and admissions happening.
The MIG allows clinicians to provide more effective self-care advice if they can see the advice a GP has already given”.
