Data Feeds & Interfaces 

The power of a well-curated, linked patient data feed – supported by shared care records and population health analytics – gives Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) a powerful opportunity to enhance patient care and wellbeing.

The Graphnet Shared Care platform creates a comprehensive linked patient record by integrating data from sources including National Spine demographics, primary care records, and hospital episodes. Population health users can also link in wider determinants data, PHE Fingertips, Secondary Users Service datasets, and waiting list datasets, as required.

Why Data Integration Matters

Having the right data in the right place at the right time is essential to improving care across ICSs. When information flows seamlessly between providers, it unlocks real, measurable benefits, including:

· Faster, safer decisions: Clinicians and care teams can access a complete view of a patient’s history, reducing risks and ensuring decisions are made with the most up-to-date information.

· Less duplication: Shared data reduces unnecessary repeat tests, assessments, and paperwork, saving time for both professionals and patients.

· A ‘Tell it once’ experience for patients: Integrated records mean patients don’t have to repeat their story at every point of care, creating a smoother, more supportive experience.

· Integrated care planning: Teams across primary, secondary, community, and social care can coordinate around a single version of the truth, improving outcomes and reducing gaps in care.

· ICS-wide insights via CIPHA: By linking data across organisations, the Combined Intelligence for Population Health Action (CIPHA) platform provides system-wide visibility, supporting proactive planning and population-level health improvements.

Where Does Graphnet Draw Data From?

•  Primary care: Comprehensive coded patient information from GP systems, including demographics, medications, allergies, and care plans
• Acute and hospital: Real-time HL7 data feeds covering admissions, discharges, referrals, and test results.
• Community & social care: Data from children’s and adult services, including care packages, rehabilitation, and wider support services.
• Mental health services: Information from mental health trusts, including Care Programme Approach (CPA) status, Mental Health Act status, assessments, risk indicators, and care plans.

Integration & Standards

Graphnet’s Shared Care platform is built on open standards and proven interoperability frameworks, ensuring that data flows seamlessly across care settings.

• HL7: The platform fully supports HL7 messaging standards, enabling real-time exchange of admissions, discharges, transfers, test results, and other clinical data. This ensures consistent, structured communication between different IT systems used in hospitals, community care, and beyond.
• GP Connect and national services: Integration with NHS Digital’s GP Connect service provides secure access to primary care information, ensuring clinicians outside the GP practice can view and use up-to-date patient records. The platform also works with other national services, helping ICSs align with NHS priorities and benefit from standardised, scalable data-sharing.

By adhering to these standards, Graphnet ensures that care providers have reliable, consistent, and future-proof access to patient data, while maintaining compliance with national frameworks.
