Core Data

Only Core Data is included in the Initial Upload. Patients who consent to additional information will have an Initial Summary containing core data only. Their summary will be updated automatically to include the additional information when the patients record is next accessed, eg next time they see a clinician or next issue of a prescription.

Note - Patients with dissent recorded "9Ndo.00 Express Dissent for Core Summary Care Record Data Set Upload", are excluded from the Initial Upload.

The following clinical information is known as Core Data (patient with the following):

• Current Repeat Medication - All active repeat medication which has not been discontinued in the last 6 months. If there is a Repeat Until Date specified, then this date must be in the future or within the last 6 months. If there is no Repeat Until Date, then the number of issues must be less than the maximum or the last issued must have been made within the last 6 months.

  Inactive Repeats from GP2GP messages are NOT included in the SCR core data upload.

  Current Repeat Medication - Discontinued Repeat Medication – A discontinued repeat master is included in the SCR message if it was discontinued in the last six month.

  Current Acute Medication - all acute medication prescribed in the last 12 months excluding repeat issues.

  OTC (Over The Counter) drugs and items prescribed elsewhere (i.e. hospital) will also be included in all of the drug categories.

• Allergies and Intolerances will include suspected adverse reactions and allergies including allergies to drugs, foods and any other substances (this includes Allergies entered through the Allergies and Intolerances SDA and also Read coded allergies).

  Note - Negative allergy entries will not be sent as part of the SCR.

Note - If the patient’s record does not contain one or any of the above data categories, the category description will still be uploaded as part of the summary but will state beneath that "No relevant information available for this category."
