Reason for Medication
Active problems are automatically added to the National Summary. If the problem is linked to a therapy item, the problem header is used as the reason for medication. However only patients with a consent preference of 9Ndn.00 Express Consent for Core and Additional Summary Care Record Data Set Upload have this information added to the SCR and sent to the NHS Spine. Patients without this consent see the problem header in the additional information (automatic) section but it is greyed out (not sent).
