Accessing GPC via a Managed Service Log in

Once your practice migrates to a managed service system you no longer have a GP Communicator (GPC) workstation at your practice.

All of the work your GPC machine used to do, is now done via a specific managed service log in known as the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) log in.

The EDI Log in can be used from any workstation. As you can have two managed service sessions running from one machine, you can be logged in as yourself and as the EDI at the same time.

When you log into EDI, all the messages that you used to receive via your GPC machine, for example Pathology results, are received and processed into your system.

It is therefore vital that you designate a member of staff to log into a managed service with the EDI log in first thing every morning. It should then be left logged in until the end of business each day to ensure the timely receipt of messages.

To log into your EDI account:

1. From your computer, log into Windows in the usual way to display your desktop.
2. Double click Remote Vision.rdp and the Log On screen displays:

   

3. Complete as follows:
   • User name - INPSNHS/nnnnn.EDI (where nnnnn is your user number) or the alternative log in provided by In Practice Systems Ltd.
     Note - You can only access GP Communicator (GPC) or check your Mail Gateway by logging in using the EDI.nnnnn log in provided by your In Practice Systems Ltd.
   • Password - Enter the password you have been allocated by In Practice Systems Ltd.
4. Select OK.
5. Your EDI managed service desktop now displays, select Mail Gateway to enable your clinical scheduler to run. This ensures your mail is processed through to Vision 3.
6. Log in to Vision 3 in the usual way if required.
7. Select Minimise to return to your local desktop leaving the EDI log in running:
   Remember - You can log into the same machine with your own managed service log in whilst EDI is running.
