At a glance
- Industry standards
Built on SNOMED CT, the NHS dictionary of medicines and devices (dm+d) and HL7 FHIR, so data can be counted, compared and shared.
- Highly interoperable
Connects to the systems a health service already runs, such as staff directories, patient indexes, patient administration systems and document repositories. In NHS Wales, for example, staff sign in with their NHS Wales accounts and find patients through national and local indexes, such as the eMPI, and across multiple patient administration systems.
- Built for long-term conditions
Records that follow patients over years, supporting services for long-term conditions such as multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
- Outcome measures
Integrates patient-reported and clinician-reported outcome measures into the record, for use in clinic and in research.
Screens
Diagnosis, severity scores, relapses and disease-modifying treatments on one page. The patient is invented.
The EDSS from every clinic visit, with relapses marked, plotted against centiles for the same disease duration.
Every treatment on one timeline, including changes of dose. Point at a bar for its dose, or click it to edit.

How it is built
PatientCare is a set of loosely coupled modules. Applications are lightweight and focused on workflow: they ask for data in the shape they need, and a graph API brings it together from separate services. Data is written as events and read back in whichever form each application needs, including HL7 FHIR.
