The working prototype

PRISM

PRISM is the working prototype of Project Helix — a desktop research prototype built to explore how pancreatic cancer information can be organised into a clearer, more connected view.

Information organisation

One case, one connected view.

PRISM — Patient Record Integration & Support Management logo

PRISM investigates how the information involved in a pancreatic cancer pathway can be organised together, including:

  • Scans
  • Blood results
  • Histopathology
  • GP referrals
  • MDT notes
  • Clinical documentation

Prototype

Case 0247 workspace

Case 0247 is fictional demonstration data used to show how the prototype organises a case. It does not represent a real patient.

Case 0247 is fictional demonstration data created for the research prototype. It does not represent a real patient.

Patient overview

A single view bringing together the key reference information for a case.

Clinical information

Structured clinical detail organised alongside the rest of the record.

Investigations

Scans, blood results and histopathology grouped in one place.

Documentation

GP referrals, correspondence and other clinical documentation.

MDT information

Multidisciplinary discussion notes recorded against the case.

Timeline / workspace organisation

Information arranged so a case can be read in sequence rather than in fragments.

Scope

PRISM is a research prototype exploring clinical decision-support and information organisation. It is not a diagnostic system and does not replace clinical judgement.
