PRIME Directives¶
The PRIME directives are a set of reusable health data research infrastructure components that comprise of documents that are anchored in the FIVE SAFE Frameowork abd outline the Principles, Requirements, Interoperable Standards, Modular Software & Services and Extensibility Usecases to help develop a standardised Trusted Research Environment deployment (singular) and a federated network of interoperable Trusted Research Environments (plural).
| Level | Title | Description | Narrative |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Principles | Principles & Recommendations | Narrative data sharing principles and best-practice recommendations which are updated with evidence over time (living guidelines) |
| L2 | Requirements | Functional & Non-Functional Requirements | Vendor-neutral and transparent documentation of functional and non-functional requirements |
| L3 | Interoperable | Interoperable Standards & Specifications | Standardised software-neutral specifications and interoperability standards |
| L4 | Modular | Modular Software & Services | Exemplar software and services that implement standardised and interoperable components |
| L5 | Extensibility | Extensible & Adaptable Usecases | Suggested extension points and adaptation routes to implement components within a local enterprise architecture settings. |
The PRIME guidelines is by design, software-neutral and formulated for adaptation into local enterprise architecture settings to facilitate rapid, effective and global implementation of a network of Trusted Research Environments.
