Target Operating Model Documentations - Version: 2.2 Status: Final

Target Operating Model : Overview

The Trust Operating Model focuses on integration at 3 levels:

• Local Intra Trust Context - In this case the interoperability requirements may not require sophisticated levels of security, since the services are located, within a Trust’s fire wall.
• Local Health Community Context - Here functionality and data are shared between local health economies for example, acute and primary care providers. This requires, among other things, greater levels of security and more sophisticated routing mechanisms.
• National Context - Finally, in cases requiring integration with national systems, or the establishment of national services, the requirements against the Toolkit are at their most comprehensive.

It does not cover integration at a national level through the Spine - existing compliance documentation is already available on this topic.
