Sharing Your InformationWhat this means to you Andrea Slater Care Records Programme Manager
What is it all about? • There are 2 main kinds of data sharing • Sharing your information with clinical staff that can directly aid your treatment and care • Summary Care Record • Sharing your information to allow NHS to manage services and quality • Care.Data leaflet you may have had through the door
Summary Care Record - SCR • A few years ago, all patients were written to. This informed everyone about what the SCR is. • Allergies you may have • Sensitivities to medication and environment • Medications you take or have taken in last year • Additional information can be added with your permission • You had the option to ‘Opt Out’ if you didn’t want one
SCR - continued • Emergency clinicians are able to look at this if you attend A&E, Ambulance, call Out of Hours GPs or attend a Walk in Centre/Minor Injuries Unit. • If you are able, they need to ask your permission to view this information. • If you are unable (unconscious etc.), they can view without your permission but this alerts a senior person in their organisation.
Care.Data • This is information that the NHS use to manage services and quality across the country. • It only takes some of your information • It identifies you so it can match you to other parts of the NHS where you may be treated • Information that identifies you can ONLY be used by the NHS
Care.Data - Cont • Information that is extracted can be stripped of anything that can identify you and then used for research purposes. • You have a choice • Agree to your information being used – do nothing, this will happen automatically • Agree for the NHS only to use your information to manage services and quality – Inform your practice so they can code this • Do not agree for your information to be used at all – inform your practice so it can be coded.
