Health Information Exchange update
The regional Health Information Exchange (HIE) which went live on 9 March 2020 continues to develop and add more data sources.
Newcastle Hospitals
We are pleased to confirm that Newcastle Hospitals went live with appointments and correspondence on Monday 18 May.
This means that the HIE will now show any future appointments and clinical correspondence, originated from the 18 May onwards from Newcastle Hospitals.
The Trust are now sharing radiology reports, laboratory results, patient demographics, correspondence, and appointments. Next the Trust plans to share:
- Visits
- Allergies and Adverse Reactions
- Encounters
- Problems
- Procedures
- Diagnosis
- Observations
Community update
Since our last update, North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust and South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust began sharing some of their community data. We are happy to report that County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust and Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust are also about to switch on data sharing in their community services. A summary of which community units have activated sharing and viewing is available.
