A key objective of the Professionals and Citizen Network for Integrated Care (PICNIC) project was to provide products for a European and potentially worldwide software market. The approach followed was through the delivery of a number of Open Source (OS) components, to be integrated into applications that deliver similar services across the participating regions, aiming at their exploitation by other regions and the industry. This chapter describes the technology developed during the lifecycle of the PICNIC project, focusing on the three core services of Clinical Messaging, Access to Patient Data, and Collaboration. For each service, the entire process of how to turn its functional specifications into reusable components and common data sets in order to support Information Technology (IT) services for the next generation of secure, user-friendly healthcare networks is presented by means of common documentation tools. Security and privacy issues are also addressed.

Integrity Consulting Partners (ICP) is an independent consulting firm, specialising in healthcare ICT support, with a range of major projects delivered for European public healthcare clients in the areas of systems specification and design, procurement and project management of system implementations. ICP has had a strategic relationship with the General Medical Services (Payments) Board (GMS(P)B) in Ireland over a six year period, and has undertaken many key projects for the Board during that time. Accordingly, when the GMS(P)B became a partner in PICNIC, ICP were contracted to assist in the delivery of the project. In Phase 2 of PICNIC, when the GMS(P)B became the PICNIC Project Co-ordinator, project management and technical support in this role were provided by ICP. David Piggott lead the firm's work on PICNIC and facilitated the development of many key PICNIC deliverables, including the PICNIC Architecture and Exploitation Strategy. This chapter summarises the recommended approach to the implementation of the PICNIC concepts and standards, including a suggested way forward for procuring support on the deployment of the PICNIC products.
