Your current situation?

You have a large number of different clinical applications used by different treatment services within your organisation. Your arrival at this point has been driven by a mixture of different clinical needs. Each system maintains its own patient demographic information creating variations between systems and causing problems where patients are passed between services. Data variations can obscure a clean view of a care pathway.

The situation has been recognized by the NHS in its building of a national domain - the Personal Demographics Service (PDS) - to maintain a definitive ’golden record’ of each patient’s identity. Connecting to the PDS, however, poses significant technical and regulatory challenges, so retro-fitting Spine connectivity to individual clinical applications has in almost all cases proved too complex and costly to be viable.

Quicksilva’s orQestra™

Quicksilva have originated a new approach to resolve the problems of NHS Spine connectivity allowing us to create a core Trust-wide tool which holds data for all patients within the PCT...you may recognise this as a Master Patient Index (MPI), but...our design has one major difference...

Rather than acting as a repository of essentially static data (MPI), it communicates with the NHS Spine to ensure that the data it holds is consistent with that held nationally... orQestra™ is highly dynamic.

Quicksilva’s orQestra™ has the capability to act upon updates received from the NHS Spine, and if necessary to update the NHS Spine itself when the PCT receives more up to date information from the patient.
