The Enterprise Appointments Agreement (WI8001) is essential for ensuring that consultations conducted at a Primary Care Network (PCN) hub are accurately written back to the patient's General Practitioner (GP) practice record. This agreement facilitates the automated update of consultation notes, clinical codes, and medications without the need for additional administrative input, thus streamlining the entire process.
Organisations that utilise both Remote Consultation and Consultation Write Back agreements can efficiently access and update a patient's GP records directly from the PCN Hub. With these agreements in place, clinicians can seamlessly conduct consultations, issue Fit Notes, and manage electronic prescriptions or blood requests. This capability eliminates the need for manual demographic imports or cross-organisational tasks, saving valuable time and resources.
"The automated synchronisation back to the GP record ensures that all clinical information is up-to-date, thus enhancing care continuity and administrative efficiency."
Activating the Agreement
To implement this functionality, practices must first activate the Consultation Write Back agreement via the EMIS Web interface. The agreement must be mutually established and activated by the PCN Hub and associated GP practices.
The integration of these agreements allows PCN Hubs to manage patient information effectively, resulting in fewer delays in care delivery, streamlined workflows, and improved accuracy in patient records.
For further information on how to enable Consultation Write Back or handle potential issues such as registration errors, EMIS Web users should ensure their data sharing agreements are up to date and that their system configurations support this functionality.
