Health Information Exchange (HIE): Is the electronic transmission of healthcare-related data among medical facilities, health information organizations, and government agencies according to national standards. HIE enables care professionals to view shared records and make more informed decisions for patients.

Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT): A patient management and reporting system for psychological therapists providing cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and other related treatments, which meets the central IAPT reporting requirements. Used to measure local accessibility of psychological therapies.

Order Communications: Electronic ordering communications systems (OCS) are computer applications used to enter diagnostic and therapeutic patient care orders, for example laboratory test requests or prescriptions, and to view test results. The primary aim of the system is to remove most of the current paper-based process for requesting laboratory investigations and for receiving results.

Pathology: Pathology testing is managed electronically

Population health management: Population health management platforms cover the set of IT capabilities and related services that enable provider organizations to manage populations of patients and achieve the specific quality, cost and experience goals.

Transfers of care system: System used to manage and collect data on patient moving from one care provider to another.

Thank you for your time.
