NHS’ Salford Royal Trust, Validic Partner to Integrate Patient-Generated Health Data Into EHR

The Royal Salford Trust of the NHS and digital health integration platform Validic have announced a partnership centering around innovation with health data, research & remote care services. The partnership will enable the integration of patient-generated health data from in-home medical devices, wearables and consumer health apps into the EHR. The goal of this initiative is to identify how the integration of this data yields a measurable difference in patient care, outcomes and engagement.

As part of the partnership, Salford Royal will start integrating fitness and sleep data to pilot its use and value within the EHR. Long term, this partnership will enable the Trust to bring in the full spectrum of clinical, fitness, biometric, lab, and lifestyle data available via Validic’s 400 device and application connections. The PGHD ata will also be aggregated into a database, in which clinicians and researchers can use to identify trends, correlations, and causations. For example, researchers will be able to correlate sleep and heart rate data to identify new care methods for weight and diabetes management – enabling patients greater control to self-manage their condition and offering physicians insight into how a patient’s lifestyle impacts their health and disease state. This dynamic in which patients receive their data back contextualized and physicians have an opportunity to treat patients holistically creates an accountable care model.

“Salford Royal is making personal health data actionable and valuable to both providers and patients by enabling access to the needed insights and context. By placing a focus on preventative and personalized care, Salford Royal is pioneering how data are used to improve the affordability and accessibility of healthcare,” said Validic CEO Drew Schiller.

Salford Royal is one of the first healthcare organizations to pilot the use of real-time PGHD for care and research in the United Kingdom. This initiative could have broad impact. A recently released study said one of NHS’ remote services could save 25 million clinic visits by people who are on stroke management. That frees not only patient time, but also care team resources.
