@GPsShould @pulsetoday GPs can't already agree with each other in a partnership let alone between partnerships or wider. This lack of unity is what makes the GP position weak. Collective action, where everyone is doing something different, is a prime example.
@kapowaz@hadleybeeman I think that culture already exists in the NHS. The problem is that most electronic records systems are made by private companies and whilst some have the same culture many do not
@JohnMeredith@MrWNeedham@hadleybeeman Every hospital, GP practice, pharmacy, community service etc etc is a separate legal entity with completely separate data controller responsibilities. Each one needs a data sharing agreement with every other one before they can share. Plus the data subject (patient) needs control
@hadleybeeman However what your model doesn't address is data analytics / population health / cohorting / risk stratification / screening recall etc etc. You can't really do that with a look up system
@hadleybeeman What you describe is OK for direct care ie when you go to see a clinician. And this kind of look up record pulling from multiple sources without a central database already exists in many areas. Most are regional but can be linked up (as we have done in the Midlands)
@CNagpaul@BBCNews@wesstreeting@LBC@NickTriggle I agree but why are the BMA continuing collective action instead of taking a pause and working with the government to find that solution?
@drgandalf52@Pharmacistdaz I am not a lawyer but if you receive a hospital letter and it has an error in it and you enter it into the record who is responsible? Whereas these entries are clearly attributed to the pharmacist who entered it.
@drgandalf52@Pharmacistdaz Both systems are configurable. The message always comes into workflow and you can choose if it is filed or held for filling. You can remove any element that you don't want (in EMIS there is a remove button next to each entry).
@drgandalf52@Pharmacistdaz This is not really data sharing (where we usually are referring to sharing out) but a post event message. A handover of care. The only difference is that instead of a PDF that needs extra processing you get a structured message that can still be accepted or rejected as needed
@Pharmacistdaz@drgandalf52 It is hard to see how this is any different to a hospital letter. They can and do dump work on us and being a letter is no deterrent. If you reject the structured message you will get a PDF by email with exactly the same content and exactly the same potential for work dumping
