Leeds Teaching Hospitals talk about the successful implementation and roll-out of Patient Hub, across seven hospitals.
It was a partnership that we worked with Netcall. They were on every call with us. They were at the Board with us. They’ve done everything on the NHS App with us. They really helped us deploy at scale so we’re up to about 92% of services now.

Every clinic faces the same dilemma. How do you improve the patient experience while working more efficiently? Patient Hub solves this problem. It empowers patients to take control of their appointments, and it gives you up to the minute data you need to make better decisions. Here’s how it works. You reach out to patients with an appointment reminder, they confirm cancel or rebook appointments with a couple of clicks.

First-class Integration
We support your requirements for system integration and interoperability with our robust technical integrations and expertise.
Over the past 25 years, we have committed to developing these deep integrations across our platform:
Open standards: data exchange via HL7, FHIR, APIs or CSV
Our UK-based R&D team collaborates with NHS IT peers to ensure our solutions, including Patient Hub, are built on Open Standards. They are designed to integrate with Patient Administration Systems (PAS), Trust Integration Engines (TIE), and other healthcare systems. Data can be exchanged using HL7, FHIR, APIs, or CSV. A key metric of any project is the effective flow of data to deliver for end-to-end comms and process transformation.
Netcall's proprietary data adaptor: On-Premise Adaptor (OPA)
Our specialist proprietary functionality accesses live data feeds. This NHS On-Premise Adaptor (OPA) delivers live data feeds, and a permanent test feed, between Trust systems and our cloud-deployed solutions. We put data security at the heart of our integration methods.
More about our OPA and Patient Hub
When used with Patient Hub, for example; the OPA listens for raw data payloads from the PAS. It processes (i.e. extracts and/or transforms data) and stores the payloads locally. These are delivered to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Patient Hub admin back-end database. Returned information is then written back to the PAS via the TIE.
Secure raw data transfer drives end-to-end NHS efficiency
Taking raw PAS or TIE data, we use it to power new and innovative functionality. This makes it easier for patients and releases staff productivity.
The keys to success include both the integration method and the infrastructure we use. These allow the integration to be robust, reliable and secure.
EPIC dev partners, and integrating with many PAS systems
Our teams believe it’s important to be development partners with NHS PAS system providers. And, we’re very proud of our recent milestone, a dev partnership with EPIC. Our PAS integrations include Cerner, Ecamis, EPIC, InterSystems, Trakcare, Meditec, MyMedical Record, Patient Centre Dedalus /DXC, System C and Topaz.
Integrations drive digital letters and print queues
The OPA makes easy work of pulling data from your systems to create digital letters using our integrated letter template mode. It generates the appointment letters and then stitches it together with the other assets.
Engage patients in their healthcare
