The South West London Collaborative Commissioning (SWLCC) has signed a two year contract for the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG).

The SWLCC includes the six South West London CCGs, Wandsworth, Richmond, Croydon, Sutton, Kingston and Merton, who are working together to deliver the five-year strategy for the local NHS.

The contract includes the Detailed Care Record (DCR) service, which provides clinicians with ten categories of information from a patients GP record. The contract also includes Shared Record Viewer (SRV), an independent web portal, which provides instant access to the DCR.

The MIG will stream data into four instances of the Cerner Health Information Exchange (HIE), which is used in acute settings across South West London. The SRV will be used by clinicians in the out of hours services.

Healthcare Gateway are the preferred provider of interoperability solution across South West London and implementation of MIG services will begin soon.
