These articles describe the various technologies underpinning the Endeavour and Discovery open source systems and related operational services which are currently live.

What is the Discovery idea?

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.

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.

Technologies

These articles provide information about the services, structure, and functionality that operate using the Information Models; one of the fundamental tenets of the Discovery Data Service. This is the starting point for those interested in health data and the information derived from it, and why Discovery may be different from other approaches:

  • Health Information model - An overview of the approach to the Discovery information model, the purpose, and type of content.
  • Modelling language - The W3C standard languages used to build the various components of the information model
  • Basic health data set  - a very high level overview of the types of data mapped from data held within the Discovery data stores.
  • Reference data - an overview of additional data held in the information model.
  • Mapping and matching concepts and structures - Introduces the approaches to matching and mapping concepts and the structural mappings in the model
  • Information model services - the technical services , such as APIs and apps that enable an model instance to be used or to implement an EHR based on the model or particular data model
  • Architectures - A high level overview of the architectures that the technologies contribute to
  • GitHub repositories - descriptions and information relating to the application source code, .

Services

  • London Discovery data service. Provides information about a set of services that have been based on these technologies under the general term "Discovery data service".
  • ASSIGN - UPRN. An address matching application and service that matches addresses held in source systems in various forms, to the addresses made available under license by the Ordnance Survey and Post office, including the assigning of a URPN. The application and service has been jointly developed by the Endeavour Health Charitable trust and Queen Mary's University of London and the Clinical effectiveness Group (CEG)
  • Information model manager - an application designed to provide a view of the common information model, and support the authoring of the content of the model.

Applications

These articles provide information about the applications that have been by the technologies

  • Sextant - A data set distribution service with an option to post the data directly into the recipients database.
  • Monitoring and alerting - provides an overview of the monitoring and alert systems in place.
  • Data Sharing manager- DSM provides a visual representation of data that is being shared and processed and by which organisations, regions, and/or services.
