Three editions. Buy the part of the problem you have.
Additive, each complete in its own right, and each meaning something different in the UK, the United States and internationally.
Additive, and each one complete on its own
The editions build on each other, but the governance edition isn’t a stepping stone — it’s a standalone product sold to boards, and it shares no modules with the other two.
| Edition | UK & Crown Dependencies | United States | International |
|---|---|---|---|
| commvita Flow | Operational products matching the NHS Federated Data Platform, plus referrals, pathways, discharge and community services. Interoperability and integration, the open core platform and its utilities, analytics, finance, planning, shared care, patient-facing services and a developer toolkit. | Care coordination, pathway management, value-based care workflows and payer-provider collaboration. | Care delivery coordination, multilingual pathways and integrated health operations. |
| commvita Governance & Assurance | Board assurance and board management. Corporate and clinical risk, policy and regulatory compliance. Incidents end to end — near misses, root cause, duty of candour, complaints, mortality review and corrective actions. Information governance and privacy, including records, freedom of information, subject access, the national data opt-out, legitimate access logging and supplier assurance. Data and AI governance. Training, CPD and workforce assurance — mandatory and information governance training, appraisal and learning records. Workforce itself: staff directory and org structure, rostering, safe staffing, job planning, bank and agency, electronic staff record integration, wellbeing, freedom to speak up and the register of interests. Audit and evidence, statutory reporting and annual returns, and emergency preparedness with on-call and operational command. | Compliance management, audit, quality programmes, organisational governance and payer-provider assurance. | Regulatory frameworks, programme assurance and health system governance. |
| commvita Population | The clinical record across every setting — primary and community care, mental health, social care, ambulance, maternity and remote care. Clinical operations, medicines and prescribing, referrals, clinical and national returns. Population health, deprivation analytics, risk segmentation, prevention and inequalities. Analytics and clinical AI, patient-facing services and finance. | Risk adjustment, capitated risk, accountable-care population management and analytics. | Public health intelligence, health equity, national analytics and disease management. |
Which one you need depends on what is actually hurting
Three different problems, three different buyers, three different first weeks.
Start with commvita Flow
You can’t see the whole system, the front door is under pressure and nobody agrees where the constraint is. This is the operational base, and at £1 per Commvita Flow Edition instance — one deployment for your organisation, every environment included — the decision isn’t a capital one.
Start with Governance & Assurance
An inspection is coming, the board can’t evidence its own controls, and the risk register doesn’t reconcile with what actually happened. This is bought by boards and needs no clinical accreditation.
Go to Population
Care is fragmented across settings and nobody holds the person. This is the destination, and the one with the longest adoption curve — which is why it usually follows one of the other two instead of leading.
Own your platform.
Matches the NHS Federated Data Platform, and open — £1 per Commvita Flow Edition instance (optional support)
Everything the NHS Federated Data Platform does, at £1 per Commvita Flow Edition instance — self-hosted, on open standards (openEHR / FHIR / OMOP), with no Palantir contract. The open core platform, the shared tools and a developer toolkit, plus a full set of operational products matching the Federated Data Platform (FDP): every module here has a real FDP counterpart, so a buyer can never answer a paid edition with "the FDP already does that". What the FDP CANNOT do — the clinical record over time, and clinical workflow — is deliberately NOT here; that’s the differentiator and it sits in the Population Platform.

Govern your organisation.
Board assurance, risk, incidents, information governance, AI governance, audit, and the whole workforce and training side of it
Becomes the organisation’s governance system of record and its organisational memory: every board decision, risk, control, incident, information-governance request, AI system, workforce competence record and piece of inspection evidence in one traceable place. Deliberately contains NO clinical workflow — flow, capacity, clinical and population capability sit in the Population Platform.

What each edition adds
Counts are generated from the product’s own edition definition instead of written down, so this table can’t drift from what ships.
| Edition | Capabilities added | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|
| commvita Flow | 0 | 0 |
| + commvita Governance & Assurance | 116 | 116 |
| + commvita Population | 162 | 278 |
commvita Flow is £1 per instance (one deployment for your organisation, every environment included), with optional paid support. It isn’t free. It’s priced so that adopting the platform is never the expensive decision, and so that the decision to extend is made on value and not on sunk cost.
The platform base isn’t an edition
Identity, role-based access, the tamper-evident audit chain, the jurisdiction profile, the data fabric and the API gateway are underneath all three. You don’t buy them separately and you can’t end up without them.
- Identity and role-based access control
- Append-only, hash-chained audit
- The jurisdiction profile and its resolver
- Data fabric and data products
- Open APIs and bulk export
- Workflow and notification engine
- Person spine and identity resolution
- Hosting: commvita-hosted, self-hosted or sovereign
The edition boards buy first
Boards are inspected on their governance, not on their clinical workflow. This edition carries the accountability record an inspection asks for, and deliberately carries no clinical workflow at all.
Event to theme to systemic issue to risk to board objective, as one chain.
