Lorenzo also offers the NHS added flexibility with enhanced interoperability functionality. Existing systems can be reused, allowing trusts to migrate incrementally to the complete Lorenzo solution, reducing the immediate capital expenditure requirement, and ensuring users have time to become accustomed to new functionality. NHS trusts can then implement functionality according to their own priorities and timetable.

This interoperability allows care providers to not only share data but to also participate in integrated care management processes. Cross-organisation processes such as clinical documentation, multi-disciplinary assessments, scheduling and referral management allow all parties involved in a patient's care to stay abreast of their status and progress.

The Lorenzo architecture allows NHS trusts to implement a single Lorenzo master patient index and clinical database with extensive functional and data access controls. By exercising measures such as Role Based Access Controls, a Legitimate Relationships Service, data sealing and locking, and individual consent to data sharing requirements, Lorenzo ensures a secure and reliable connection between care providers.

This focus on system security and privacy safeguards puts patients in control of their sensitive information. Smartcard based access to the system with single role log ins and complete security logs ensure only authorised users may view data and that any privacy breaches or misuses of the system can be tracked. Further to this Lorenzo allows individual patients to declare specific elements of data to be visible only to nominated individuals. These measures give both patients and clinicians confidence that particularly sensitive data about the patient is protected from unauthorised access

Lorenzo Regional Care helps providers deliver services to the patient quickly, conveniently and seamlessly. Staff will be supported in the delivery of integrated care with effective electronic communication tools, better knowledge management, easier to access vital information, and the improved accessibility of specialised expertise.
