Bramble Hub and OpusVL Win Project at Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Bramble Hub and our partner OpusVL (now known as Smart Information Technologies Limited) have been awarded a new project by Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for the development of a system to record patient outcomes after medical procedures.

The system, to be based on the opensource platform openOutcomes, will record, analyse and report on PROMs – Patient Recorded Outcome Measures. These are typically questionnaires filed by patients before and after treatments ranging from physiotherapy to surgery. Data managed by openOutcomes is stored according to the OpenEHR standard, which specifies schemas for the storage of clinical data. This means that applications based on OpenEHR can access and utilise PROMs data generated by openOutcomes.

OpusVL specialises in the development of software solutions based on an open approach that encapsulates opensource, open systems and other concepts.

Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides a range of health and care services to support more than half a million people living in Northumberland and North Tyneside.

The project was awarded under the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 12 framework.
