Core Data

When a patient is selected, regardless of the consultation type, any new Core Data is automatically populated into the Summary and is automatically sent to the Spine when you deselect the patient.

Core data consists of:

  • Current Repeat Medication - All active repeat medication which has not been discontinued in the last 6 months. If there is a Repeat Until Date specified, then this date must be in the future or within the last 6 months. If there is no Repeat Until Date, then the number of issues must be less than the maximum or the last issued must have been made within the last 6 months.

    Inactive Repeats from GP2GP messages are NOT included in the SCR core data upload.

    Current Repeat Medication - Discontinued Repeat Medication - A discontinued repeat master is included in the SCR message if it was discontinued in the last six months.

    Current Acute Medication - all acute medication prescribed in the last 12 months excluding repeat issues.

    OTC (Over The Counter) drugs and items prescribed elsewhere (i.e. hospital) are also included in all of the drug categories.

  • Allergies and Intolerances include suspected adverse reactions and allergies including allergies to drugs, foods and any other substances (this includes Allergies entered through the Allergies and Intolerances SDA and also Read coded allergies).
    Note - Negative allergy entries and degraded allergies (ie those sent via GP2GP) are not included in the SCR.

Note - If the patient’s record does not contain one or any of the above data categories, the category description is still uploaded as part of the summary but states beneath that "No relevant information available for this category."
