OLAS connects with existing NHS systems to reduce duplication, enable seamless shared care, and improve patient continuity.
Healthcare data shouldn't live in silos. OLAS integrates with core NHS systems to pull referrals, push diagnosis letters, update GP records for shared care, and maintain a single source of truth. This reduces administrative burden, improves patient safety, and supports the NHS ambition for joined-up care.
OLAS integrates with the two dominant GP clinical systems in England—EMIS Web and TPP SystmOne—to enable bi-directional data exchange for shared care arrangements.
Integration in development. Technical feasibility validated with NHS Digital and GP system vendors.
OLAS accepts referrals directly from the NHS e-Referral Service, reducing manual re-keying and enabling patients to book appointments online through the NHS e-RS portal.
e-RS integration planned for Q3 2025. UBRN (Unique Booking Reference Number) workflows validated.
When a patient reaches stability or is ready for GP-led shared care, OLAS automatically generates comprehensive shared care letters with all required clinical information and sends them directly to the GP practice.
Letter generation and PDF output available now. Direct GP system integration roadmapped.
OLAS is designed with future NHS interoperability standards in mind, ensuring compatibility with evolving national infrastructure and data exchange requirements.
OLAS architecture is FHIR-ready, preparing for adoption of HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) as the NHS standard for data exchange.
Clinical terminology aligned with SNOMED CT where applicable, ensuring consistent coding for diagnoses, medications, and clinical observations.
NHS Number used as the primary patient identifier, enabling safe and accurate patient matching across NHS services.
Secure communication with NHS organizations via NHS Mail, ensuring confidential clinical information is transmitted safely.
Automated data exchange eliminates hours of manual re-entry, phone calls to GP practices, and chasing missing information.
A complete, up-to-date view of patient history, allergies, and medications reduces the risk of adverse events and medication errors.
GPs receive structured, complete information for safe shared care arrangements—reducing their hesitance to take on prescribing responsibilities.
Patients benefit from joined-up care where all clinicians have access to the same information, avoiding repeated questions and fragmented journeys.
