Leeds Releases Portal Open Source Code

Leeds Teaching Hospital has released the open source code related to its Opensource clinical portal after a successful development phase. The Opensource portal, developed with integration service provider ReStart Consulting, provides a single view of patient events and data from key departmental systems. The successful Phase 1 of its development saw integration from five systems to the portal via the trust’s integration engine using HL7 messaging.

The five systems are iSoft’s PatientCentre PAS; the trust’s own Patient Pathway Manager, which is used in the trust’s oncology department, and information from applications provided by Bluespier, Ascribe and EMIS.

Dr Tony Shannon, clinical lead for informatics at Leeds Teaching Hospital, said: “We are pleased that the first pilot phase of the Open Portal project has been a useful success. The feedback from clinical teams here at the Trust is very positive and the pilot project has proven to be both clinically and technically useful.”...
