Request and Response
  1. Does your Health Board have a patient flow system?

A clearer definition would be required to answer this question accurately.

However if it is specifically regarding a federated patient dataset across all NHS providers (as per Palantir/Foundry in question 2) then NHS Scotland is currently developing a National Data Platform.  Details of this platform would need to be requested from NHS Scotland National Education Services (NES).

  1. If so, is it using the electronic patient record, or the national offer built on Palantir/Foundry?

Palantir/Foundry is an NHS England contract and not in place in Scotland.

  1. Or does the Health Board have a specialist flow product? If so, what is the

•           Supplier name

•           System name

•           Contract expiry date

NHS Shetland does not have a specialist flow product.
