Switching Off SCR

You may need to disable your Summary Care Record functionality, for example, if your practice closes or merges with another practice, or if you are having technical problems.

Switching off Summary Care Record means that the existing patient's summaries are not updated. You should only use this functionality in extreme circumstances and ensure you have fully understood the implications before using it.

Disabling SCR has a potential impact on the care your patients receive and it is possible that all patients should be written to, to confirm the practice is no longer updating their SCR. Once disabled, a Practice No Longer Contributing to SCR update should be run to add a message to the patient's summaries that the practice is no longer updating their SCR. See Practice No Longer Contributing to SCR for details.

To switch off your Summary Care Record:

1. From the Vision 3 front screen, select Options - Setup.
2. Select the System tab.
3. Remove the tick from Enable GP Summary:

   

4. Select OK to save.
5. The 'You have chosen to switch off GP Summary messaging. If this switch remains off for a significant period of time, then you should run the Bulk Notification utility so that your patient's summaries clearly indicate to other users that they are no longer being updated. Do you want to continue? message displays, select Continue:

   

6. The 'Are you certain you wish to turn GP Summary messaging OFF?' message displays, select Confirm:

   

7. You must now log out of Vision 3 for the change to take effect.
