- In England and Wales, Registration Links Phase 2 message types in Vision 3 are now FHSREG (and no longer REGIS). These require new GP and GMC Codes. Check in File Maintenance - Staff - [GP] - Identifiers for each GP and under each TP, and enter these immediately after installing Vision 3.
- We advise you to inform your TP (Health Authority) straightaway that you are moving to New Data Standards (NDS) ie FHSREG transmissions. A possible scenario is that you run the old Reg Links transmissions up till 24 hours before installation of Vision 3. Stop for 24 hours, then install new Vision 3, enter or check new GP codes, then resume Registration Links which uses the new codes and the new message type FHSREG.
- You also need to learn the new GPC3 screens.
Registration Links is now accessed from the Messaging list on Vision 3 front menu.
