Question Number 3:
Data Warehouse

There are three main architecture patterns for delivering a Shared Care Record to share data with the ICS. Please identify the Trust’s chosen option:

A. Centralised Model – Data is stored in a centralised, consolidated data repository. Data shared by HIE participants is normalised, housed in, and accessed from a central data repository.

B. Federated Model (also known as Distributed Model) – Data is held at source in a decentralised manner. Each participant maintains separate control of its data, typically in
special “edge servers” at its own location, and shares patient-specific data upon request from other HIE participants.

C. Hybrid Model – A combination of a & b. Builds on the Federated Model by adding a “record locator service” that tracks where patients have received care and where their source data can be requested.

b) If yes, is it FHIR-based?

c) What is the name of the product?
