The Practice performs computerised searches of some or all of our records to identify individuals who may be at increased risk of certain conditions or diagnoses i.e. Diabetes, heart disease, risk of falling). Your records may be amongst those searched. This is often called “risk stratification” or “case finding”. These searches are sometimes carried out by Data Processors who link our records to other records that they access, such as hospital attendance records. The results of these searches and assessment may then be shared with other healthcare workers, such as specialist, therapists, technicians etc. The information that is shared is to enable the other healthcare workers to provide the most appropriate advice, investigations, treatments, therapies and or care.

Risk stratification can be grouped into two purposes namely:

Direct Care – ‘Case Finding’ where carried out by a health professional (e.g. GPs and Provider) involved in an individual’s care or by a data processor acting under contract with such a provider, it is treated as direct care.

Cerner - HealtheIntent

HealtheIntent is a platform that allows the practice and other healthcare providers to improve healthcare outcomes, patient experience, reduce adverse events and shift towards more preventative care. It covers both sharing and risk stratification.

HealtheIntent uses the shared care record (see above, LCR) plus additional data from care providers to give a better picture of your health.

The HealtheIntent platform contains three main tools - HealtheRecord, HealtheRegistries and HealtheAnalytics, and a data warehouse (HealthEDW).

HealthEDW is the data warehouse which securely holds all of the normalised, longitudinal data. Normalised means that all the same measurements are used so there is no confusion, longitudinal means that data is available over time.

HealtheRegistries provides a dashboard view for specific population cohorts usually a long-term condition e.g. diabetes. It provides users with an overview of indicators/measures and allows them to see how a patient is doing against these measures e.g. Hba1C result as well as their population (e.g. GP practice). This helps the user identify gaps or duplication in care at both an individual and population level.
HealtheAnalytics is a dashboard tool (Tableau) which can be used to identify trends and unwarranted variation in population cohorts. It will also enable clinicians and care professionals to ‘drill down’ to see which of their patients/clients require specific action.

All records held by the Practice and in the LCR system are kept for the duration specified in the Records Management Codes of Practice for Health and Social Care

Spine supports the IT infrastructure for health and social care in England, joining together over 23,000 healthcare IT systems in 20,500 organisations.

It hosts 5 key services to support the delivery of your care. They enable healthcare professionals, authorised with an NHS smartcard, to view relevant information about you as follows

Patient Demographics Service – The Personal Demographics Service (PDS) is the national electronic database of NHS patient details such as name, address, date of birth and NHS Number (known as demographic information). It helps healthcare professionals to identify patients and match them to their health records. It also allows them to contact and communicate with patients.

Summary Care Record (SCR) – is an electronic record of important patient information, created from GP medical records. It can be seen and used by authorised staff in other areas of the health and care system involved in the patient's direct care.

When your personal health records on your GP Record is uploaded to the spine, NHS Digital becomes the data controller for the uploaded information.

The source of the information shared in this way is your electronic GP record.

At a minimum, the SCR holds important information about;

current medication
allergies and details of any previous bad reactions to medicines
the name, address, date of birth and NHS number of the patient

The patient can also choose to include additional information in the SCR, such as details of long-term conditions, significant medical history, or specific communications needs.

e-Referral Service - The NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS) combines electronic booking with a choice of place, date and time for first hospital or clinic appointments. Patients can choose their initial hospital or clinic appointment, book it in the GP surgery at the point of referral, or later at home on the phone or online.

Electronic Prescription Service - The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) sends electronic prescriptions from GP surgeries to pharmacies. Eventually EPS will remove the need for most paper prescriptions.

GP2GP - GP2GP allows patients' electronic health records to be transferred directly, securely, and quickly between their old and new practices, when they change GPs. This improves patient care by making full and detailed medical records available to practices, for a new patient's first and later consultations.

The source of the information shared in all of the instances above in this way is your electronic GP record.

All records held by the Practice and the EMIS Local Record Sharing system are be kept for the duration specified in the Records Management Codes of Practice for Health and Social Care

What is important to you in your day-to-day life
Your preferences or wishes about your care, such as where you prefer to be cared for
What support you need and who is best placed to provide this
Information about others who may be involved in your care, such as relatives
Based on your conversation, your healthcare professional can document this information using a digital system. Your care plan can be continuously updated throughout your life, depending on your needs and wishes.

Your healthcare professional will document a clinical recommendation, should you need emergency care. Information on your care plan is visible to all health and care services who are involved in your care.

[Insert your Risk Stratification software supplier excluding EMIS (covered above) – e.g. Docobo, MedeAnalytics, Sollis or any listed on NHSE Approved Suppliers

The Practice performs computerised searches of some or all of our records to identify individuals who may be at increased risk of certain conditions or diagnoses i.e. Diabetes, heart disease, risk of falling). Your records may be amongst those searched. This is often called “risk stratification” or “case finding”. These searches are sometimes carried out by Data Processors who link our records to other records that they access, such as hospital attendance records. The results of these searches and assessment may then be shared with other healthcare workers, such as specialist, therapists, technicians etc. The information that is shared is to enable the other healthcare workers to provide the most appropriate advice, investigations, treatments, therapies and or care.

Risk stratification can be grouped into two purposes namely:

Direct Care – ‘Case Finding’ where carried out by a health professional (e.g. GPs and Provider) involved in an individual’s care or by a data processor acting under contract with such a provider, it is treated as direct care.

Indirect Care - understand the local population needs and plan for future requirement.
