Collaborativeworking……..

“Creating a better world requires teamwork, partnerships, and collaboration, as we need an entire army of companies to work together to build a better world within the next few decades. This means corporations must embrace the benefits of cooperating with one another”.

Simon Mainwaring

The Success Stories………

Collaboration

“As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other peoples ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life”.Amy Poehler

Working with each other to achieve shared goals……

Enjoy your day

Laboratory modernisation in NHS England

Dissatisfaction– Too long to get laboratory results to patient– Human error in paper based processes– Technology preventing more responsive services

Recognition that modernisation cannot be achieved without solving the technology first.

Challenges in Pathology Modernisation• Laboratory systems uses their own coding• Laboratory staff members are comfortable

with their current system• Laboratory managers have procedures and

processes that “work for them”• Stakeholders worry about losing out when

change comes

NPEx... Local -> National Codes

200

A national lab to lab exchange for all laboratory disciplines.From any lab, to any lab.

NPEx – The National Pathology Exchange for the UK NHS• A single digital hub (exchange) designed to connect all 200

NHS laboratories in the UK• An NHS software as a service - run for the NHS, by the NHS• Software that automatically converts from local codes,

local practice and vendor specific technologies to national and international standards

• A highly secure, very robust, high volume digital messaging system connected directly to the LIMS in each laboratory

Design principles• Work with existing technology in the laboratory• Work with existing local codes– Automatic conversion to SNOMED-CT, LOINC, NLMC etc

• Support any permutation of local practice– Design for maximum quality, audit and robustness

• Vendor neutral– Automatic conversion to HL7v3

• Run as a “silent service” with minimal human effort• Provide managers with easy configuration, detailed information

and high levels of control
