Core Data

Only Core Data is included in the Initial Upload. Patients who consent to Additional Information have an Initial Summary containing core data only. Their summary is updated automatically to include the Additional Information when the patients record is next accessed, for example, the next time they see a clinician or a prescription is issued.

Note - Patients with dissent recorded "9Ndo.00 Express Dissent for Core Summary Care Record Data Set Upload", are excluded from the Initial Upload.

The following clinical information is known as Core Data:

  • Current Repeat Medication - All active repeat medication, which has not been discontinued, in the last six months.

    Note

    • If there is a Repeat Until Date specified, it must be in the future or within the last six 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 six months.

    • Inactive Repeats received via GP2GP are not included.

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