Until today, to integrate with patient demographics at an NHS organisation we’ve needed to integrate with the local system, meaning custom work for both us and the NHS organisation’s IT/integrations teams, which takes time. We’re delighted to say that we are now, following completion of the necessary NHS Digital approvals and testing, integrated with NHS Digital’s Personal Demographic Service (PDS) via their FHIR PDS API!
This means that when an organisation is happy to use the NHS number as the primary identifier in Concentric (i.e. no need to be able to search for or show a local hospital number within Concentric), this can be enabled at a moment’s notice, with no custom integration needed!
