Initial Upload

The Initial Upload is a one-off process that can be run in its entirety to completion, or be paused and resumed as many times as necessary.

The Initial Upload should be run once Summary Care Record is enabled at your practice, see Enabling/Disabling SCR.

You are notified of your commencement date by your ICB. Before running the Initial Upload you should run Consent Migration to upload patients consent status to the Spine (ACS), see Consent Migration.

The Initial Upload compiles an Initial National Summary for each eligible non-dissenting patient registered at your practice, see SCR - Who is Eligible? for details.

Note - The Initial Upload can be run on any workstation, except the EDI machine. Vision 3 is available for use during the upload.

The Initial Upload only uploads initial Summary Care Record messages containing core data for eligible patients. Although it is possible to re-run the Initial Upload, Vision 3 skips patients who already have an initial upload message, it is probably best to check your system for any patients who might have erroneous FP69 and/or erroneous applied status before the primary initial upload is run.

See Core Data and Running the Initial Upload for details.
