At RIVIAM, digital integration is built into everything we do. Today, RIVIAM delivers documents into GP systems in real-time, delivering on the promise of a paper-free NHS.

We have a continuous programme of investing in NHS Digital integrations to keep our customers at the vanguard, and provide our own APIs.

Interfacing with GP systems

RIVIAM is part of NHS Digital's IM1 GPSoC programme. RIVIAM is accredited to integrate with TPP SystmOne™ and can now interface in real time.

RIVIAM is also an accredited partner with EMIS Web using the transactional interface. This is the interface that allows real-time access to GP information.

Delivering documents with MESH

MESH is NHS Digital's secure file transfer service that links computer systems used by NHS Trusts. RIVIAM uses this service to deliver documents directly into GP systems in England.

In 2022, we delivered 800,000 documents straight to GP systems.

Patient lookup with NHS Spine Mini service

RIVIAM is an accredited provider of NHS Spine Mini Services with NHS Digital. This means that RIVIAM is able to look up basic patient information including NHS number. For our customers, this delivers improved data accuracy and more efficient, higher quality reporting.

In 2022, RIVIAM performed 1.9 million lookups.

Current integrations underway

1. We will soon have an interface with GP Connect allowing a real time view of a patient's GP record.
2. We have developed our test harnesses for eReferrals and will be enabling RIVIAM to receive and send referrals via the eReferral system.
3. RIVIAM can list provider services on its GP Portal directory of services to support out-of-hours services.

NHS App

We will be using the NHS App to enable patients to book and manage appointments on a Patient Portal.
