Bulk Update

Bulk update allows you to send up to date SCRs in bulk to the Spine. This is useful, for example, if a large number of patients need a refresh of their existing SCR.

To run the Bulk Update utility:

  1. Go to Vision 3 Front Screen - SCR - GP Summary Bulk Uploads .
  2. The GP Summary Bulk Transmission screen displays.
  3. From the Bulk Update menu, you now have the following options:
    • Run - This action will manually send a GP summary update to the Summary Care Records of all eligible patients at this practice. Do you wish to proceed?
    • Resume - Continue with the bulk refresh?
    • Rerun - This action will manually send a GP summary update to the Summary Care Records of all eligible patients at this practice. Do you wish to proceed?
    • Failed - This action will reprocess all failed updates from the previous bulk refresh. Do you wish to proceed?

  4. Click to select the required option, eg run.

  5. To start the process immediately, click OK. Or set an alternate start, stop or resume time, add the required details. See Scheduling Options.
    Note - For both manual and scheduled uploads, your Smartcard should be left in the reader until your upload has completed, however, it should be noted that your Smartcard will automatically expire after 10 hours and in line with Information Governance, you must not leave your Smartcard unattended in the reader.
