Hello,
 
There is a very interesting presentation on this project at 
http://www.oasis-open.org/events/adoptionforum2006/proceedings.php
 
See some of the data on slide 11:  
 
.15,642 bookings a day through Choose & Book 
.1.7 million bookings made so far in total 
.7,605,966 prescriptions have been made electronically through ETP 
.354,488 prescription messages in the last week 
These are production ebXML messages ..

Information Technology uses ebXML Messaging 



 

I'm pleased to announce that a new case study was posted at the ebXML.org
Web site:

 

http://www.ebxml.org/case_studies/NHS-ebMSG-casestudy-041206.pdf 

 

The UK's National Programme for Information Technology (NPfIT) is the
world's largest civil IT project. A central component of the NHS Care
Records Service is the Transactional Messaging Service (TMS) Spine using the
ebXML Messaging Service OASIS Standard. 

 

The Transaction and Messaging Service provides the communications
infrastructure for the National Programme. It serves to interconnect
regional network clusters managed by Local Service Providers (LSPs) and
national services such as systems for electronic booking and transmission of
prescriptions. The technology framework used for TMS is based on a large
number of advanced technical specifications and standards. This includes the
ebXML Messaging Service OASIS Standard. Within the TMS Spine, ebXML is used
to provide reliable messaging functionality. National services such as the
Electronic Booking Service (Choose and Book) and Electronic Transmission of
Prescriptions are accessed using pairs of XML request and response
documents. These documents are transported within the NHS network as ebXML
messages. 

 

With an anticipated yearly volume of over 5.000.000.000 message by 2010, TMS
is likely to be among the largest messaging systems in production in the
world. For this very reason, TMS is also likely to be among the larger
systems worldwide that will use the ebXML Messaging OASIS Standard. 

 

Sincere congratulations to everyone involved in this very significant
project!
