SCR PDS Synchronisation

During the Initial Upload, a new SCR PDS synchronisation is now run automatically. The following criteria must be synchronised in order to upload an the current SCR:

NHS number Gender + DOB Surname

Forename OR Postcode

Points to note:

• If PDS and Vision data have corresponding blanks for non-mandatory demographic information (ie other than the above), the PDS synchronisation is regarded as matched.
• If the patient demographic data is not successfully SCR PDS synchronised, the SCR initial upload for the patient is skipped and from Consultation Manager, the SCR on the Spine is not accessible.
• You are still able to remove your Smartcard whilst the initial upload is running. Any PDS mismatches are not displayed on the screen during this time.
