On Receipt of the Patient's Record

When the records are received for a patient, you should record their receipt by updating the Registration screen.

1. From Registration , select the patient in the usual way.
2. Select the Other tab.
3. Remove the tick from box Records Sent by TP.

   

4. Now select OK. An acknowledgment is now sent back to the TP/HB that you have received the patient's paper record.

Recording a Read code

It is no longer a QOF requirement to summarise the patient's records within 8 weeks, however, we recommend that you record when the records are received and when they are summarised in the patient's journal by Read coding:

• Read code #9134 - Lloyd George record received.
• Read code #9344 - Notes summary on computer.
