Community Data
The Community Data app allows you to view patient data gathered from a myriad of data sources and secondary health systems. Vision 3 users can access the Community Data web application to retrieve information, such as tests done in a hospital, to facilitate healthcare via the Medical Interoperability Gateway (MIG). The MIG is an automated brokerage service that can locate a patient record and facilitate an exchange of information between healthcare IT systems. The view you have is dependent on the data available to your CCG.
