GP2GP Degraded Records
There are some elements of current electronic health records which cannot be transferred in completely structured form in every case. This is due to different conventions for describing them on different GP clinical systems or where different coding schemes are used. Vision to Vision transfers are unlikely to produce degraded records, but other suppliers to Vision (where different codes are used) do. This particularly affects medication, allergies and some business functions such as recalls. Some data may be missing a Read code. Such data, which is incomplete, and which require attention are called degraded records.
You can list these by double clicking on the Alert pane line Degraded GP2GP Records, under the navigation pane. This displays the degraded records on a Filtered tab. Work down each record, by right clicking then Edit.
Degraded records have a Read code 9bJ Transfer-degraded record entry:
- 9bJ0 Transfer-degraded medication entry
- 9bJ1 Transfer-degraded referral
- 9bJ2 Transfer-degraded request (though note that requests are not transferred in GP2GP)
- 9bJ3 Transfer-degraded plan (this refers to recalls)
- 9bJ4 Transfer-degraded drug allergy
- 9bJ5 Transfer-degraded non-drug allergy
Note the Degraded GP2GP Records line at the bottom of the navigation pane - double click this to list the Degraded records on the Filtered List tab
Clinicians need to be made aware that data in unsummarised GP2GP Records may not appear where they are used to seeing it, for example, in the previous practice, priority numbers may differ, or problems may or may not have been used.
Training Tip - Using Consultation View (select the Consultations tab), you get a much clearer breakdown of the consultation. Note that some sending systems export records in separate consultations called 2non-consultation data", and they are thus imported into Vision in separate consultations.
