New data quality guide issued for UK GPs
Feb 26 2010, 11:37 AM
The NHS Connecting for Health programme has released a new publication outlining advice on how GPs can meet the requirements for data quality.
The guidance provides a way for healthcare staff to ensure that the right procedures are followed when uploading summary care records (SCR) to the Spine in the interim period since the IM&T Directed Enhanced Service was stopped in March 2009.
The Good Practice Guidelines are set to be published later this year, but GPs have been told that the standards set out in the current application will apply until it is released.
According to eHealth Insider, the guidance reads: "Meeting this standard will ensure that a high level of data quality has been achieved and maintained within a GP practice and is therefore preferable for practices participating in SCR."
AEGON Trustee Solutions recently claimed that inaccurate and out-of-date information could cost the pensions industry billions, with a £25 million pension scheme losing around £1.25 million through data quality variations.
