All suppliers on the Assured Solution list are cloud-based.

The Dom Portal uses a public cloud platform hosted across redundant data centres, which means data is stored on resilient storage that is duplicated across different data centres. This means there is minimal or no loss of service if one data centre fails. The hosting provider also has physical measures such as power back-up and temperature control systems and a business continuity plan to ensure business continuity. 

You do not need a Health and Social Care Network connection to use this service. 

Upcoming developments will be based on customer requests, alignment with future CQC requirements, and ongoing standards compliance. 

Dom Portal are also seeking integration and interoperability opportunities.

The Digital Social Care Record roadmap outlines the capabilities and standards that all solutions will need to meet in future.
