3. www.england.nhs.uk IDCR Applications Strong focus on integration projects, with a high proportion proposing a portal approach. Many of these had aspirations to open the portal to patients as well as fellow professionals. Approximately a third of the applications included integration between health and social care organisations. Around 15% had health-social care integration as their primary focus. The most frequently planned integrations are between primary and acute care settings, followed by social care and community health organisations. A number were also beginning to consider the possibilities of integrating with emergency services and independent sector providers.

4. www.england.nhs.uk Interoperability Maturity index IDCRs Underpinning IDCRs, is the need for information to be shared – interoperability. Interoperability programme established across DH, HSCIC, NHS England -co-ordinate national activity on interoperability and away from siloes -provide “handbook” on key policies, standards and guidance e.g. to commissioners -be clear on priorities and strategic direction

5. www.england.nhs.uk Interoperability programme Interoperability Programme e.g. Open API policy e.g. Citizen Identity Policies Standards e.g. NHS Number Guidance Interoperability Programme NHS Number Clinical Headings End of Life Provide the “handbook” for commissioners, providers What is the strategic direction?

7. www.england.nhs.uk Commissioners Toolkit IDCR needs to be a core component of every health economy’s plans CCGs are key to ensuring this, however, they may not always have the expertise or bandwidth to do so. The toolkit will help commissioners ensure that they have a digital strategy in support of the integrated services they commission. e.g. “What does interoperability mean for you as commissioners, why is it important, what do I need to consider?”

11. www.england.nhs.uk For discussion today Theme for Question 1: Testing Market Capability Once you identify a need for a solution, how do you research what the market has to offer? Discuss if there anything that could be done or tools that could improve this process? Theme for Question 2: Interoperability supporting IDCRs What are the key policies, standards and guidance you need to help you? Building on existing – open API policy, ITK standards, identity management guidance. What do you see as the priority next wave of interoperability standards? end of life, crisis management, pharmacy to GP…. What are the key policies, standards and guidance that you would like to see to help you?
