James,

If you look at the details - they are using CPA and ebMS from the ebXML stack on the Spine.

Obviously another couple of pieces could be added for certificate management with registry and then also BPSS for process models and traffic control. Then also transaction development with CCTS would be another option.

Most people seem to start with ebMS and CPA.

ebms rather than full ebxml right?

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 ..

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!
