Seamless integration of your healthcare services

Integrated care provides patients a more comprehensive and coordinated approach to health care, which leads to better health outcomes, improved patient satisfaction and cost efficiencies. Interoperable technology is vital to achieve this. When clinicians have all the information they need to hand, at the point of care, faster, more informed decisions can be made.

Save time, make fast informed decisions

Real-time health and social care information and data between IT systems is quickly shared via MIG, so healthcare professionals have access to patient information, when directly providing care using their existing system.

Access patient data in the right place, at the right time

MIG provides real-time patient information where it’s needed and when it’s needed. This is helping healthcare organisations to improve the efficiency and standard of care by reducing unnecessary hospital appointments, duplicate examinations, and improving the transition of care.

MIG shares the following datasets:

  • Detailed Care Record (DCR)
  • Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Dataset from Mayden iaptus
  • EMIS Web GP Journal View Dataset
  • EMIS Web Community Journal View Dataset
  • Adult Social Care Dataset from Liquidlogic
  • End of Life Datasets
  • Acute Dataset from Teleologic
  • Community Children's and Mental Health Dataset from Access Rio EPR
  • Special Patient Notes Dataset.

Features

  • Provided as an HTML view or as structured data
  • Fully interoperable with over 80 health and social care systems
  • Real-time data available 24/7
  • Secure exchange of electronic discharge summaries and clinical documents
  • Standalone record viewer available, where no system is in place
  • Underpinned by national interoperability initiatives where required. Including FHIR, Open APIs, SNOMED CT clinical coding

MIG is available to all health and social care settings, regardless of the system in place, and can be activated easily.

 

Shared Record Viewer (SRV)
