Open Source Programme
Achieving an Integrated Digital Care Record
Current challenges & issues
• Lack of satisfaction for clinicians with current system
• Issues of usability
• Speed and cost of modification and integrations
The Vision
3
How this will be achieved
1. Create a market of viable Open Source solutions, for them to be
considered equally with proprietary options
2. Provide evidence of the value of Open Source to the wider Health
and Social Care Community
3. Ensure by default all code created in the NHS is shared as part of
a Library of assets for re-use
4. Ensure a level playing field for Open Source commodity &
infrastructure services
What is Open Source?
