This document proposes a conceptual data architecture for a population-level digital transformation program across integrated care systems (ICS). The key points are:
1. It proposes standardized pseudonymization and data sharing across ICSs, localities, and national databases through a central ICS data platform.
2. Real-time data would flow between localities within each ICS and national reporting would occur via the ICS.
3. Each locality would have its own localized data platform adhering to common standards and schemas to enable data sharing.
