Emergency Care Summary (ECS) - Northern Ireland
Practices in Northern Ireland can be involved in the Emergency Care Summary (ECS) extraction of data.
This project creates emergency care summaries of patients’ GP records; a subset of GP data is held centrally in the SCI Store for every consenting patient to be accessed in emergency care. OOH doctors and nurses can access the web server to look up information on any patient to whom they are giving emergency care. From June, NHS 24 is planned for inclusion.
The data held includes:
- Standard patient demographics including CHI/healthcare number, forename, surname, previous surname, date of birth, address, postcode and up to three telephone numbers. Also the current GP practice and current registered GP.
- Consent withdrawn
- Registration Status
- All allergy and adverse reaction records
- All non-drug allergy records
- All acute therapy issued in the last 6 months Northern Ireland
- All active repeat masters (ie, active masters issued in the last 12 months)
- Repeat Dispensed items and therapy issued out of practice.
Consent can be recorded as refused in the patient's Registration under the Consent tab.
