1.5 million patients already log in using NHS login and this number is increasing by 1000 patients each day. This integration lets us easily give these patients their GP data without the patient needing to supply additional information.
This integration will initially be available initially for patients in England. We would like to expand this to other countries once they have the national infrastructure in place to allow us to build something similar there. Some patients in England are already getting GP data added to their PKB record or will get it from integrations set-up at an organisation level: EMIS Extract Service - 337,042 patients, North West London Data Discovery Service - 2.4 million patients. These integrations will remain active. We will de-duplicate GP data in a patient’s record if they are receiving it from more than one source.
We would like to expand this to other countries once they have the national infrastructure in place to allow us to build something similar there. Patients in the Netherlands can already get their GP data in their PKB record as PKB is a certified personal health environment (PGO) in the Netherlands.
What are we building?
Integrating with EMIS Web and TPP SystmOne via the NHS IM1 programme.
Once a patient logs in with NHS Login once, their record will be pulled and will be regularly updated from that point. No further action is required by the patient.
GP practice does not need to enable the integration with PKB but does need to have online services enabled.
Will get demographics, conditions, medications, allergies, appointments, test results, measurements, immunisations, documents & carer information/proxy records. Data types will be added in phases.
Data will be stored in FHIR format.
