Care home and hospice system becomes MIG accredited

Care home and hospice system becomes MIG accredited

The Care Database is the latest system provider to become a Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG) accredited partner.

The Care Database is an efficient and secure web based system, which helps healthcare professionals to revolutionise their care management. It’s used across a variety of health settings including care homes and hospices.

The application has been accredited for the Detailed Care Record and Service Discovery Locator, which will provide care home and hospice staff with:

  • real time access to a patient’s GP record
  • the full medical history for the patient to optimise care planning
  • an integrated view of patient data held on a number of different systems.

“We’re delighted to be working in partnership with The Care Database to provide their customers with access to GP data. It’s important that care homes and hospices are sensitive to the shifting needs and preferences of their patients and the MIG will make it easier for multi-disciplinary teams to share this information and deliver more effective and coordinated care.”

“The Care Database is designed to help healthcare professionals deliver better care in a variety of settings – including care homes, hospices, respite centres, hospital wards and surgeries. Whilst we have a broad prospective client base, they all have one thing in common – they will be caring for patients who have data held on a number of different healthcare systems and it’s crucial they can easily access this data. Having the Medical Interoperability Gateway integrated into The Care Database enables our clients to do just that. And, with the data they need at their fingertips, our clients are able to deliver safer and more effective care.”

MIG powers many of the leading HIE solutions

MIG powers many of the leading HIE solutions

We partner with the top five HIE solutions listed in the 2018 NHS interoperability report.

The NHS Interoperability 2018 report from US-based healthcare market research firm KLAS has revealed the leading HIE suppliers, which are supporting healthcare interoperability. Six of the eight suppliers referenced in the report have already partnered with Healthcare Gateway and its data sharing technology, the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG).

“Effective interoperability is crucial to supporting sustainability within the NHS and the MIG is a solution of choice for leading healthcare software providers. More than 60 vendors are using the MIG as a real time engine for data sharing and we have a great track record in helping them overcome the associated challenges, existing across health and care. We look forward to studying the full report and will use the findings to inform future conversations with our sector partners.”

KLAS interviewed 141 people from 124 NHS organisations in England, including CIOs, CCIOs, CIOS, executives, consultants, IT directors and GP practice managers. Intersystems were named as the leading HIE with Cerner, Tiani, Orion, Graphnet, Docman, Microtest and Sunquest also named in the list.

The report also identified three major shortcomings in the England:

  1. Exchanged data is unstructured (25%)
  2. Cumbersome formatting (20%)
  3. Key data is missing (17%).

Structured or unstructured

The MIG has the ability to integrate systems using structured or unstructured patient data. Structured data is provided in an xml format, providing flexibility for the host application. To find more, please get in touch here.

The findings from the report were shared at a techUK event in London on Monday 25 June.

IMS MAXIMS is the latest healthcare software provider to become a MIG accredited partner.

Their electronic patient record (EPR), MAXIMS, has been accredited for the Detailed Care Record service, giving its users 24/7 access to live GP data from different provider systems.

Healthcare organisations will now be able to view the most up to date information about their patients, ensuring clinicians have the real-time support they need to make informed decisions at the point of care.

By collaborating and sharing information about patients, hospital staff will also be able to:

  • increase efficiencies and the standard of care
  • prevent duplicate examinations and tests
  • facilitate out of hours prescriptions
  • monitor patient activity more accurately.

“We’re delighted to have IMS MAXIMS as our newly accredited partner. By providing acute care settings with real time feeds of primary care data, we can help A&E staff to save time in emergency situations. We look forward to working closely with them on future projects.”

“In providing this greater level of support to customers, MAXIMS users can reap the benefits of more joined-up care including making faster and better informed clinical decisions, which is vital in an acute care setting. We’re therefore thrilled to be a MIG accredited partner.”

Teleologic accredited for acute data sharing

Teleologic accredited for acute data sharing

Teleologic are now a live data provider to the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG). This means the MIG can share patient data from the Teleologic Patient Content Store (PCS) with any other health and care service. 

Providing primary, community, mental health and social care staff with acute patient information will help them to make better, informed decisions about a patient’s care, once they’ve been discharged from hospital.

"The flexibility of MIG architecture enabled Teleologic to provide MIG end-users with exactly the views of clinical content that they had requested from their acute care provider. The MIG technical team made the development process very straight-forward for Teleologic's software developers."

“Effective data sharing is crucial to the integration of local care services and the MIG provides an effective way of bringing together different services. We’re delighted that Teleologic will now be using the MIG to share patient information in and out of their system and we look forward to working with them on new projects in the future.”

East Kent Hospitals are the first Teleologic customer to share hospital data with other clinicians, dealing with a patient’s care. Using the MIG, they will provide GP practices across Kent and Medway with access to this data.

More information about this project will be available in due course.
