__TOC__
These articles describe the Endeavour open source technologies and services.


These articles describe the various technologies underpinning the Endeavour and Discovery open source systems and related operational services which are currently live.
The technologies and services cover the following areas
==What is Endeavour - Discovery?==
Endeavour - Discovery is based on the hypothesis that; If health related data is brought together at the level of the individual in close to real time, and stored together at the level of a medium size residential population, and made available via a common data model that uses a common ontology of concepts, and then subsequently used for individual and population based decision support, great benefits to health can accrue.


The idea is not new. What is different about the approach to many alternatives, is that the specially developed software is open source and available for anyone to use. Specially developed software relates to any specialised software that is required to achieve the objective where that software is not available as part of generic cloud commodity services or data storage technologies.

* [[FHIR Get Structured Record API|Health record APIs.]] Describes a set of APIs for accessing health records using FHIR.


The idea is also differentiated from the commonly used approach of linking end of month reporting data such as SUS or HES. Instead, Discovery seeks to use data as close as possible to its original entry form as entered by health professionals or the citizen themselves, and to use that data as close to real time as the publishers of that data can make available.
All of these services have live and development deployments and are free to access.

These articles describe the Endeavour open source technologies and services.

The technologies and services cover the following areas

All of these services have live and development deployments and are free to access.

They all operate in three ways:

  1. Use of web or online user interfaces to enable users to use the services directly. Provides viewing or downloading facilities
  2. User of Web APIs for systems to interoperate so that the resources can be used as part of an integrated offering
  3. Local implementations whereby local code APIs are used instead of Web APIs.

These technologies form part of a broader set technologies, many of which have been used by a large scale NHS London Data linkage and normalisation Service Known as Discovery, covering a population of 7 million registered citizens.
