LIMS Disease specific systems Social care “Born digital” narrative & preformatted documents Clinical correspondence eg prepared with MS Word templates Header 0123450123 Content Header Record element 1 Record element 2-n Computable record components appear when they can be safely derived from input data
23
View documents in WCP WCP makes documents available in a patient record …and creates them LIMS Disease specific systems Social care Document scanning Welsh Clinical Portal MPI, WDS
24
Federated document stores …one way we might deliver clinical documents in the Single Patient Record
25
Each LHB has its own document store (Same technology, separate instances) Each LHB has its own MPI (Same technology, separate instances) New LHBs in Wales
26
Record stores (and PACS) wider integration using eg IHE XDS supporting “pull” requests

MPIs will also work in a federated way WDS already in place with link to PDS WDS PDS
