Extracting ECS data

There are two types of Emergency Care Summary (ECS)data extraction:

• Full data extraction, this sends an initial upload of the patient summary to the SCI store. The initial data extract is performed manually by the practice using ECS Initial Extraction, see Running a Full data extraction using the ECS Initial Extraction Utility for details.
• Incremental data extraction, performed daily for those patients whose records have been added to or changed. Where there are multiple modifications for a given entry, the most recent modification is extracted. The incremental extraction is a scheduled task which is performed by GP Communicator, see Adding a New Vision Task to the Schedule in the GP Communicator and Mail Gateway Help Centre for details.
  Note - No upload takes place for patients who withdraw consent.
