Carer wants to know what computer information we hold about her?

Carers, including non-patient carers, have the right under the Data Protection Act to see what information is held about them on Vision 3.

Just running the Carers Report in Searches may produce a report with other confidential information that they are not entitled to see. So, first create a group which only contains the patient cared for by that carer.

Probably the quickest way to create a "group" is in Searches – Ad-Hoc (alternatively create a group in Patient Groups), and in Patient Details, Selections, specify the patient's surname and forename. In Group Output, save the search with a specific name. Run the search. Close the ad-hoc search. Now select New Carers Report from the Searches menu. Select Carers for these patients and select the group you have just created. Check all the boxes under Carer Details Output. Leave unchecked the box List Patients Cared For. Click on Print.
