Upgrading to SCR 2.1

Vision 3 release DLM 483 delivers the Summary Care Record (SCR) release 2.1 update. Prior to installation of DLM 483 all existing practices must have RBAC fully enabled.

RBAC has been in place for some time without directly affecting your access to specific functions in Vision 3. However, RBAC becomes a compulsory part of Vision 3 for installation and use of SCR release 2.1. This means that once you login to Vision 3 with your Smartcard, your access to Vision 3 modules and functions is dictated by the roles and functions that are stored on your Smartcard (whether you login on or offline).

Practices who have Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) R2 enabled are already using RBAC, need to ensure the relevant SCR roles and functions are added to their Smartcard prior to DLM 483 installation.

You must contact your Integrated Care Board RA Manager prior to upgrading to SCR release 2.1 and ensure that all staff have all their required functions and roles added to their Smartcard. Some staff also require the relevant SCR RBAC codes to be assigned to their Smartcard to perform SCR functions, see Role Based Access Control (RBAC) Roles used in SCR for details.

If using the new SCR Viewing module to view non-registered patients SCRs, you must appoint a practice Privacy Officer to monitor the viewing activity.
