Patient Records

Everything about this patient, in the order it happened.

One chronological record assembled from the systems a hospital already runs, rather than a replacement for any of them.

What it does

In the terms a clinician would use.

  • Merges admissions, consultations, investigations and prescriptions into a single timeline that can be read end to end.
  • Keeps the source system's identifier on every entry, so any item can be traced back to the record it came from.
  • Speaks FHIR R4 in both directions: CBS is a participant in a hospital's data estate, not a destination for it.
  • Holds identifiers and clinical free text encrypted at the field level, so a database dump is not a breach of the record.
What it will not do

It is not a system of record and does not try to become one. The hospital's HIS stays authoritative; CBS reads from it and writes back to it. A hospital that stops using CBS keeps its data where it always was.

Where the data comes from

  • HL7 v2 feeds from existing hospital systems
  • FHIR R4 resources over the standard REST API
  • Bulk import from CSV for a first migration
