Understanding the different GP2GP transaction states is essential for both requesting and sending organisations to ensure smooth electronic patient record transfers.
GP2GP Transaction States for Requesting Organisations
When requesting a GP2GP record, you might encounter the following transaction states:
- EHR Request Requested: This indicates a successful request sent to the previous practice and is awaiting a response.
- EHR Extract Received in Full: The full record has arrived and is awaiting filing.
- EHR Extract Integration Failure: A problem occurred while attempting to file the patient record. The previous practice has been notified for potential resolution.
- EHR Extract - Timeout: The system timed out while waiting for the record, typically due to large messages.
GP2GP Transaction States for Sending Organisations
For sending organisations, key transaction states include:
- EHR Extract Created: The record has been prepared and is being sent to the new practice.
- EHR Extract Send Failure: A problem occurred during the message sending process, requiring further action.
- EHR Extract Integration Success: The new practice has successfully integrated the record into their system.
Why This Matters
Understanding these transaction states helps in efficiently troubleshooting any issues that occur during the process, maintaining a seamless record transfer between practices. This can save valuable time for both healthcare providers and patients.
