To enable data collection from EMIS and SystmOne Hubs for GP Appointments Data (GPAD), it is essential to follow these steps:
Enable GPAD Data Collection in EMIS
Ensure that your GP practice's appointment slot types are correctly mapped to the national slot categories using the National Slot Mapping functionality in EMIS Web. This process helps in standardising the appointment data for more accurate reporting.
Follow these steps:
- Access the Appointment Book. Navigate through the EMIS Web menu and point to Appointments, then select Appointment Book.
- Click on Appts Config found in the ribbon.
- In the left-hand pane, click National Slot Mapping.
- Filter by slot types as necessary and choose the appropriate mapping for each slot type in the Service Setting, Context Type, and National Slot Category fields.
- Confirm changes by clicking OK.
This standardisation aligns your practice's data collection with NHS guidelines, aiding in both local and national reporting.
This functionality empowers practices by ensuring that local appointment systems reflect true activity, enabling better planning and resource management.
Enable GPAD Data Collection in SystmOne
For SystmOne, review your appointment configurations and mappings through similar processes as provided in their specific system guides. If you encounter any issues, contact primarycare.domain@nhs.net for further assistance.
