Software Development For Integrated Care Systems

Whether you’re connecting providers, improving data access, or scaling innovation across care settings, our custom software solutions help Integrated Care Systems deliver safe, efficient, and collaborative care.

Understanding Software Development for Integrated Care Systems

Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) are reshaping how health and care services are delivered across England — breaking down silos, improving outcomes, and tackling health inequalities through collaboration. But achieving this requires digital infrastructure that supports real-time data sharing, care coordination, and strategic decision-making at scale.

Successful software development for Integrated Care Systems means building tools that serve multiple organisations, align with national standards, and deliver measurable impact for clinicians, managers, and citizens alike.

At 6B, we help ICSs create secure, scalable software that underpins regional transformation — from shared care records and patient portals to population health platforms and integration engines.

Our Approach to Software Development for Integrated Care Systems

We begin by working closely with ICS leaders, digital transformation teams, and clinical stakeholders to understand local strategies, operational needs, and system-level goals.

Our design team focuses on inclusive, accessible, and user-centred interfaces that meet the needs of both professionals and citizens. We ensure the platforms we build work seamlessly across desktop, mobile, and clinical environments — always with a focus on usability, safety, and compliance.

On the technical side, we develop robust, cloud-native applications designed for interoperability — connecting with NHS Spine services, EPR systems, care coordination platforms, and regional data repositories. We align all development with NHS data governance frameworks, including DSPT, IG Toolkit, and the latest GDS service standards.

From discovery to deployment, we offer full lifecycle support — including clinical safety assurance, stakeholder engagement, documentation, and managed services to ensure continuity and long-term value.
