Maternity Services: Medical Records
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what demonstrations of (a) the maternity Single Patient Record system and (b) any tools used to (i) summarise patient data and (ii) construct clinical timelines have been provided to witnesses giving evidence to the Health Bill Committee; and whether those demonstrations were conducted using (A) the Federated Data Platform and (B) associated AI systems.
Answered by Preet Kaur Gill
NHS England has demonstrated an early prototype relating to the maternity element of the Single Patient Record (SPR). This was used to support user research and discussion about how maternity information could be presented to clinicians in future. The prototype was not a demonstration of a live maternity SPR system and was not connected to live National Health Service systems or live patient data.
The prototype showed an illustrative clinician-facing view using illustrative data. It was intended to demonstrate potential user experience concepts, including how relevant information might be grouped in a clinical summary or presented in a timeline-style view. It did not process live patient information, generate clinical summaries from patient records, or construct clinical timelines from operational systems.
The prototype did not use the NHS Federated Data Platform or associated artificial intelligence systems to summarise patient data or construct clinical timelines.
