Switching Off SCR

You may need to disable your SCRs functionality, for example, if your practice closes or merges with another practice, or you are having technical problems. Switching off SCR 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 in the Spine Services Help Centre for further details.

1. From the Vision 3 front screen go to Options - Setup.
2. Select the System tab.
3. Remove the tick from Enable GP Summary.
4. Select OK.
5. You are prompted "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should run the Bulk Notification utility so that your patient's summaries clearly indicate to other users that they are no longer being updated.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? select Continue:

   

6. You are then prompted "Are you certain you wish to turn GP Summary messaging OFF?" select Confirm:

   

7. SCR is now turned off. You must now log out of Vision 3 for the change to take effect.
8. When you log back in, you must now run the "Practice No Longer Contributing to SCR" update. See Practice No Longer Contributing to SCR in the Spine Services Help Centre for further details..
