Background:
OpenEHR (Open Electronic Health Record, pronounced Open Air) is a World-wide open standard repository for patient clinical data and is becoming a REAL alternative to traditionally licensed software for the provision of HIMMS[1] Level 6/7 electronic medical records (EMR’s).
University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust will soon be the first NHS Trust to go live with an implementation of OPENeP, an openEHR based, open source solution by Marand for Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (ePMA). Fully supported by NHS Digital “Code4Health” and the not-for-profit Apperta Foundation, this innovative approach will, for the first time, provide a platform with true data independence and vendor neutrality.
In addition, University of Plymouth is leading on a number of projects in Devon and Cornwall to foster a Digital Health Ecosystem using a bottom up SME led approach. As part of these projects, the University is absolutely committed to embedding open standards and technologies to enable seamless interoperability and integration.
The event covered the many questions being raised, including:-
- What does this mean for the Trust?
- Why now?
- How can innovative, health-focused projects by the University of Plymouth across Devon and Cornwall support an Ecosystem to drive it forward?
- What does it mean for other NHS Trusts?
- What’s in it for SME’s, locally, Nationally and Internationally?
