To Register for this event visit www.shscevents.co.uk For further updates and information www.scimp.scot.nhs.uk SCIMP is delighted to announce that the Atos Origin Alliance will once again be the principal sponsor of this event.

ehealth in Primary in Primary Care THE Care NEXT THE GENERATION NEXT GENERATION SCIMP CONFERENCE 2011 SCIMP CONFERENCE 2011 ehealth in Primary Care The Next Generation Early Bird Discount available until 21 Sept 2011 With the change in the landscape of General Practice computing and the successful migration to new ehealth applications, Scottish Primary Care now stands at a crossroads. We ask: Where do we go from here? How do we consolidate our advances and extract the full potential of the remarkable people and technologies we now have in place? Today we have at our fingertips a wealth of strategic data, and in clinics and consulting rooms across the country we have information tools that were unimaginable only a short generation ago. Our conference will investigate and inform from the pragmatic to the outlandish how we can use these tools to best support and improve the health of the nation; and how we can inspire the next generation to meet the demographic and economic challenges we face by having a new vision for ehealth. In addition to our usual mix of topical speakers and workshops we will introduce a panel debate with some of the leading lights in ehealth, and audience participation with live polling. We anticipate a vibrant and inspiring conference and look forward to welcoming you to Crieff in November.

Session Synopses S3d & S4d S3e & S4e S5a & S6a S5b & S6b S5c & S6c S5d & S6d S5e & S6e Supporting General Practice through Quality Practice Team Information Dr Annemarie van Heelsum & Duncan Buchanan Consistent recording and collection of data is the first step to understanding variation and hence to controlling and improving processes in practices. While Scotland has a wealth of consistent data nationally to analyse what happens to patients in secondary care, the picture for primary care is very different. However, Information Services Division (ISD) of NHS National Services Scotland has, for many years, been working with a number of GP practices across the country on recording patient morbidity and related activity. The feedback aims to support practices in understanding and benchmarking their activity. This presentation will highlight some recent examples of how this work benefits practices and CHPs and also provides an insight into consultation patterns in primary care across Scotland. We will discuss the implications of the large-scale migration of GP IT systems, which has created challenges as well as opportunities for improvement of collection, analysis and reporting of primary care data. The English Experience of Electronic Transfer of Prescription Dr Tony Kaye The session will explain the functionality of the English Electronic Prescription Service and how it works within the Vision system (as an example). I hope to show the key benefits for patients, pharmacists, and of course for the prescribers. EPS allows us to send acute and repeat prescriptions electronically to the patients preferred pharmacy, without paper; to bulk sign many prescriptions with one electronic signature; to electronically cancel prescriptions if necessary; and the biggest key benefit to us, is electronic Repeat Dispensing, where we set up batch prescriptions for a defined duration, and the prescriptions pass automatically to the pharmacy at the appropriate intervals, until the next clinical review is required. This could be the biggest work saver for GP practices. Ultimately, when all pharmacies in England are enabled for EPS release 2, patients will be able to collect their electronic prescriptions at any pharmacy. FP Extraction Service Dr Ralph Sullivan KIS epcs ECS Dr Libby Morris Building on the success of the Emergency Care Summary which is now connected to all GP Practices in Scotland, a new development called the Key Information Summary is now underway to extend the information available to clinicians. The Key Information Summary has been designed to support patients with Long Term Conditions, mental health problems or special alerts and includes information on medical history, patient wishes, carer details and DNACPR. This information will be available to all users of ECS including NHS24, Out of Hours and A & E clinicians. Development is underway and pilots are planned for later this year.
