Project rolling out the MIG across NHS Dumfries & Galloway shortlisted for Industry Collaboration Award

Our project with NHS Dumfries and Galloway rolling out the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG) in Scotland for the first time has been shortlisted in the Industry Collaboration category for Holyrood’s Digital Health and Care Awards.

The Industry Collaboration Award highlights partnerships between innovative private sector vendors and the public sector, and the crucial role they play in achieving wide scale transformation of health and social care services. The award recognises a supplier that has demonstrated effective collaboration with a public or third sector client to deliver a successful digital transformation project.

NHS Dumfries and Galloway completed a pilot project with Healthcare Gateway, becoming the first in Scotland to roll out the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG) and connecting 31 GP practices across the region providing clinicians with real-time access to patient data, supporting faster and safer care.

The benefits seen by clinicians accessing rich primary care data have been invaluable. Comprehensive patient information being available at the point of care means clinicians no longer have to spend time calling GP surgeries and trying to fill in the gaps. Accessing real-time data ensures that clinical decisions are based on current information, improving clinical safety and coordination of care.

“The patients often find it difficult to remember this information. I would. Previously we had to phone the GP surgery and the receptionists were extremely helpful, but it was time consuming for them and us. Having access to this information is vital when we are thinking about escalating treatment. This has really helped us to deliver more patient centred and safe care.”

Lead Respiratory Nurse

The second phase of the project was to enable views of comprehensive MIG data in Cambric’s Morse EPR solution, which provides secure mobile records to healthcare professionals who are working in the community or away from their normal place of work.

The MIG is making vital real-time information available to a wide range of NHS end users across NHS Dumfries & Galloway to provide integrated care for patients. To find out more about this project, read our news story here.

The Digital Health and Care Awards ceremony will be held on the evening of 21 February 2023. To find out more about the awards and read a list of shortlisted nominees, visit the Holyrood website here.

Devon Partnership Trust to deploy Healthcare Gateway’s new Mayden iaptus (IAPT) Dataset

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.”

Fiona Dawson, Director at Mayden

The Mayden iaptus (IAPT) Dataset is available in real-time HTML view or JSON structured data and includes seven tabs of data:

  1.  Patient Demographics
  2.  Episodes of Care
  3.  Assessments
  4.  Outcome Questionnaires
  5.  Historic Appointments
  6.  Future Appointments
  7.  Documents and Letters.

“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.”

Sarah Dunwell, Head of Projects and Product at Healthcare Gateway

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.

If you would like to find out more about the Mayden iaptus (IAPT) Dataset, or learn how we can help you achieve your interoperability goals, please get in touch with a member of our team.

Healthcare Gateway provide real-time data to Sirona care & health

Health and care professionals at Sirona care & health are now using an in-context launch from their Community EMIS system into Connecting Care, and can access the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG) to securely view patient and citizen data.

Using this in-context launch Sirona care & health are able to view the information from 85 GP practices, three local hospitals, the mental health provider and information from three councils for Adult and Children’s Social Care via Connecting Care (which is the local Shared Care Record for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire and the IT System is provided by Orion Health).

Sirona care & health provide community services to support adults and children at home, in the community and in schools across Bristol, South Gloucestershire, and North Somerset (BNSSG). They employ thousands of health and care professionals including district nursing teams, therapists, and support workers who now benefit from accessing rich, real-time patient data to deliver quality, patient-centred care.

The community services Sirona provide include palliative care, long COVID service, urgent care at home, dermatology, musculoskeletal (MSK) services, rehabilitation, and community services. They also offer children’s services such as immunisations and school health nursing, and are also supporting hospital discharge processes across the region [1].

Challenges

Traditionally, the Sirona care & health clinical and professional staff did not have access to all the information they needed, which delayed care as time was spent calling other clinical professionals and social care staff in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. Staff had to spend valuable time trying to find the information they needed to provide patients with the best care.

What did they do?

Appropriately authorised Sirona care & health professionals are now able to securely view health and care data within the Connecting Care Shared Care Record. 

Quick access to real-time patient data has transformed Sirona care & health’s ability to deliver patients the best possible care in a timely manner.

“Historically, there would often be a gap in the data that's available, and you would find yourselves trying to fill in the blanks, or taking a stab in the dark at times, to try and formulate a picture which might not be totally accurate. This is certainly not something that as an organisation or as individual clinicians would be sustainable, or that we would want to see in the long term. So having Connecting Care come on the horizon has been a bit of a saving grace for us. It prevents that disconnect and fills those gaps, and it's been well received by myself and my team.”

Sean Hegarty, SPA Case Manager for Sirona care & health

The benefits of joined up care

Being able to access MIG data via the Connecting Care in-context launch, has given Sirona care & health the ability to triage patients even more appropriately and efficiently, and make better decisions supported by views of the most up to date diagnosis of a patient, their medication, vaccination and test results, items they otherwise may not have been able to see, or had to wait to see. They are also able to view end of life information so that patient’s wishes are respected. 

“It's particularly beneficial for more complex patients, especially for end-of-life patients where you're looking more in depth for things like respect forms and care plans which have come from various places. Having all of that in one place, and via one access through our source system into Connecting Care is really, really helpful.”

Sean Hegarty, SPA Case Manager for Sirona care & health

Healthcare Gateway provide the Connecting Care partnership with Medical Interoperability Gateway’s (MIG’s) Detailed Care Record (DCR), EMIS GP Journal View and EMIS Community Journal View providing consultation notes of GP contacts, plus the MIG’s End of Life Dataset to support patient wishes at the end of life where the person has agreed they would like their information shared from the EMIS GP system.   

Working together with partner organisations, Connecting Care have recently implemented an in-context launch from Community EMIS, the local Sirona care & health IT system. This allows secure access into the same person’s record (in-context) within Connecting Care. 

Once into the Connecting Care Shared Care Record, the detailed MIG views of GP and Sirona care & health community information are available.

The curated presentation of detailed information, cleverly set out in ‘views’ enables professionals to quickly find the particular data that they need to support direct care of their service user.

Benefits of our Detailed Care Record, GP Journal View, and End of Life Dataset include:

  • Access to real-time data, which ensures that clinical decisions are based on current information
  • Bi-directional sharing between health and social care teams, which ensures patient care is better co-ordinated and patients only have to tell their story once
  • Display of free text so that clinicians have the full picture
  • Structured data which can be manipulated for analysis work and reporting to help improve care planning and monitor patient outcome.

Connecting Care is also supporting community care services to improve the experience of patients being discharged from hospital via the Collaborative Integrated Care Bureau (CICB).  This innovation was recently implemented across the three local Acute hospitals, Sirona care & health and the three local authorities in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.

“We have made it possible for staff working across acute, community and social care to have visibility of patients who are being discharged from hospital. In the past, when somebody was medically fit for discharge, there would sometimes be delays because there was no visibility that they were medically fit for discharge. As a result, their care needs and care packages were sometimes not put in place in time.

Recently to support the CICB we've made a ‘medically fit for discharge’ list from the hospital available in Connecting Care, and Sirona care & health are able to view all patients who are being discharged back to home, and also patients who need a bit more support in the community or provided care in respite and care homes. Using this list and information provided using the MIG views, Sirona care & health and social care colleagues are able to agree on the care plan and respite support needed. The CICB are now able to provide a better experience and more seamless transfer of care for patients, their families, carers, and for staff.”

Fran Draper, Engagement Lead & Senior Project Manager for NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit

Looking ahead

In the future, Connecting Care is looking to expand the availability of data across the region and explore datasets to enable further data sharing from other organisations in BNSSG and across boundaries with other Local Shared Care Records.

NHS D&G

NHS Dumfries and Galloway first in Scotland to roll out the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG)

NHS Dumfries and Galloway become the first in Scotland to roll out the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG).

The Health Board have completed a pilot project with Healthcare Gateway connecting 31 GP practices across the region providing clinicians with real-time access to patient data, supporting faster and safer care. Serving a rural population with NHS Dumfries and Galloway’s ambition is to digitise health and care, driving forward with electronic records to diminish paper records.

Benefits of accessing the primary care data has been invaluable for clinicians and usage statistics have recorded over 40,000 transactions since go live. It means clinicians now have access to rich patient information at the point of care where previously, they would spend time on the phone or emailing GP surgeries, which often led to delays in care.

"We knew what concept needed to be applied to help us achieve our digital transformation goals and Healthcare Gateway turned our concept into a reality. The team owned the delivery and moved it forward by liaising with third parties directly, providing a seamless pilot project experience."

Murray Glaister, eHealth Project Manager, NHS Dumfries and Galloway

Clinicians across all the secondary care settings can now access the MIG’s Detailed Care Record (DCR) which presents ten tabs of information from the GP record including a patient summary and demographics, problems, diagnoses, medication, risk and warnings, procedures and investigations, encounters, admissions, and referrals, direct into their patient portal hosted by Orion Health.  Sharing data via the MIG is boosting efficiency and making vital real-time information available to a wide range of NHS end users to provide integrated care for patients with benefits realised:

“The patients often find it difficult to remember this information. I would. Previously we had to phone the GP surgery and the receptionists were extremely helpful, but it was time consuming for them and us. Having access to this information is vital when we are thinking about escalating treatment. This has really helped us to deliver more patient centred and safe care.”

“I am using the GP info for almost all of my patients. It is invaluable for checking current medications and when seeing patients who are not reliable historians or have trouble remembering what medicines they take.”

Specialist Podiatrist

“We’re delighted we can now offer our MIG Managed Service to identify, integrate and support data sharing solutions to all the Health Boards across Scotland providing the population with safer, more informed care.

This project with NHS Dumfries and Galloway has highlighted many quantifiable benefits in timesaving, efficiencies and providing a more positive experience for patients and healthcare professionals. We stand by our mission and are committed to improving health and care in Scotland, enhancing the full patient journey by working with our trusted partners to mobilise more data regardless of setting or system.”

Liam King, Managing Director, Healthcare Gateway

“In the UK, Orion Health and Healthcare Gateway have a long standing and successful relationship supporting the sharing of a patient’s GP data digitally within the Orion Health Clinical Portal. Being able to share patient GP data in the Orion Health Clinical Portal such as diagnoses, allergies and medications can deliver big benefits to healthcare economies, health and care teams and their patients. Health and care professionals are better able to use this information to make informed treatment decisions faster and provide the most appropriate care leading to better outcomes.

There is a great deal of interest in Scotland in this innovative solution to support care and an improved user experience and we look forward to working with Healthcare Gateway in the future on similar projects across Scotland."

Nick Willox, Sales Director, Orion Health

NHS Dumfries and Galloway’s next step on their journey to digitisation is to expand MIG connectivity, providing remote teams including district nurses and community mental health access to patient information, at the point of care.

Health and care bi-directional data flows across Kent and Medway

Healthcare Gateway has provided health and care organisations access to real-time patient data for the past 10 years to enable better, more efficient patient care. Bi-directional feeds of real-time patient data supports healthcare professionals to make informed decisions, reducing admin time, resulting in quicker discharge times.

Mental health is a key focus in the NHS long term plan. Interoperability via the MIG narrows the divide between health and care services, helping them to become more joined up and coordinated in the way they provide care.

By working with over 80 partners, Healthcare Gateway are able to mobilise multiple datasets including mental health patient data to provide health professionals, in any health and care setting  access to crucial information. The mental health dataset from Healthcare Gateway provides a real-time view of from Access Rio system and is designed to provide clinicians with a more comprehensive view of a patient’s medical history.

For a number of years the MIG has provided access to the GP record for clinicians at the Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust (KMPT), a move that has enabled mental health teams to view the GP record alongside acute data. Today, the bi-directional flow of data via the MIG allows mental health data from KMPT visible direct in primary care systems. Over 70,000 successful MIG service patient record extracts are completed every month in the region. This joined up approach enables 135 GP practices across the Kent and Medway footprint to make informed treatment decisions faster, improve patient safety and support better management of patients in crisis situations.

"Access to this level of patient data is saving GPs across Kent an extraordinary amount of time, freeing up more hours to care for our patients, it’s invaluable.  Accessing the MIG has become an integral part of our day to day work, from knowing if a patient has been discharged from mental health services to when their next appointment is, and the gaps are filled without the patient needing to remember the finer detail. I can now see what mental health teams are planning and clarify that plan with a patient."

Dr Tim Chan, Whitstable Medical Practice, Kent

Dr Chan explained how in the past the lines of communication were paper based.

“I used to spend time dictating letters, now I have the information at my fingertips. Patients’ under mental health care have complex medications that can change frequently I can now verify medications instantly and get the dose right. We can make informed decisions, faster and most importantly it’s clinically safer.”

Dr Tim Chan, Whitstable Medical Practice, Kent

Reciprocally sharing data is joining up health and care across the region, enabling clinicians to deliver seamless patient care. Communication across each setting is improved, overall providing a more positive patient experience as they move through different care pathways.

“MIG technology is scalable, flexible and secure.  This means by collaborating with our trusted partners we can deliver more health and social care datasets which bring real value to a clinician, improving patient outcomes. Sharing data out of GP and returning data back to GP dissolves the silos across health and care, connecting health and care where and when it is needed.”

Liam King, Director of commercial and customer experience, Healthcare Gateway

Offering sophisticated and flexible “integration technology”, the MIG currently connects 4500 health and social care providers within the UK, sharing a total of 30 million patient records. More are being added all the time.
