How can interoperability transform healthcare in Scotland?
April 17, 2023
Healthcare Gateway are excited to announce that our new psychological therapy dataset has successfully completed testing with our first of type customer, Devon Partnership Trust.
Developed in collaboration with Mayden, the leading digital care record system for Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services, the Mayden iaptus (IAPT) Dataset will, for the first time via the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG), provide real-time access to vital information held within psychological therapy services in any system, in any setting.
Improving Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) services are accessed by patients for common mental health problems including anxiety, phobias, OCD, and depression. Real-time access to the data from these services aids coordination of care, improves patient experience, increases transparency, and increases clinical efficiency. The new dataset provides Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) the opportunity to level up their digital maturity through data sharing and take the next step towards their interoperability goals.
Rafael Sorribas, Chief Information Officer, Devon Partnership NHS Trust said:
“There are clear benefits to the citizens of Devon from making this data available for direct care purposes beyond the service. 25,000 patients are seen within our Talkworks service each year, that’s a significant proportion of the population who might need support elsewhere in the system and whose contact with services being known can ensure they receive the personalised support they need as quickly as possible. This is an incredibly positive thing to do, with few others having achieved it for this group of service users, and I am delighted to be part of making this happen here in Devon.”
The Mayden iaptus (IAPT) Dataset enables healthcare professionals to make improved decisions based on current information and reduces crisis impact as it provides information about a patient’s treatment status and their emergency contacts.
Access to this dataset also gives vital time back to clinicians which was previously spent calling up IAPT services and trying to piece together patient information; healthcare professionals are able to avoid unnecessary additional appointments and re-referrals.
Furthermore, patients no longer repeat their stories and healthcare professionals have a holistic understanding of their needs. Mobilising the iaptus data ensures that everyone involved in a patient’s care are better informed to provide the right treatment, support recovery and understand their current and past interactions within IAPT services.
“IAPT services have always been forward thinking in their utilisation of digital and data for the benefit of patients. Through this collaboration with our trusted partners, Healthcare Gateway, we are delighted to be able to support the IAPT dataset to be available to any healthcare setting. This will give real-time access to patient information when it is needed, improving the patient experience and supporting clinicians to provide better care.”
The Mayden iaptus (IAPT) Dataset is available in real-time HTML view or JSON structured data and includes seven tabs of data:
“We’re delighted that Devon Partnership Trust have successfully completed testing of the new Mayden iaptus (IAPT) Dataset, and that through this collaboration with Mayden we are now able to provide access to essential data from psychological therapy services as part of our offering. The dataset will not only improve clinical efficiency but will also enhance the patient journey and enable better coordination of care.”
Offering sophisticated and flexible integration technology, the MIG currently connects 5,200 health and social care providers in the UK, sharing a total of 30 million patient records. More are being added all the time including new datasets to improve the health and quality of life of all.
