To view GP summaries for non-regular patients in EMIS Web using the SCR Viewer, follow these steps:

Setting Up SCR Viewing

To enable SCR viewing for non-regular patients, ensure your smartcard includes the required RBAC activities:

  • B0370 - View Summary Health Records
  • B0082 - Legal Override of Consent

For access where patient consent can't be asked, include RBAC activity:

  • B0168 - View SCR When Permission Could Not Be Requested

Enabling SCR Functionality

The ability to view SCRs for non-registered patients requires informing your local privacy officer and having RBAC activity B0062 for Local System Administration. To enable:

  • Access the EMIS Web menu > Configuration > Organisation Configuration.
  • Select your organisation and click Edit.
  • Navigate to SCR Configuration and enable SCR viewing for non-GMS patients.

Accessing the SCR Viewer

To access the SCR Viewer:

  • Open Care Record from the EMIS Web menu.
  • Select a patient from the care records.
  • In the shared records pane, choose Summary Care Record.

If the patient is not synchronised, perform a Patient Trace on the Spine and couple the patient to the selected record.

Efficiency Tip: Accessing SCRs via the SCR Viewer helps providers rapidly retrieve pertinent medical information, enhancing emergency decisions and streamlining patient management.
