Access to Electronic Patient Records (EPRs) is a legal right for Patients and General Practice is now required to give all Patients aged 16 and over access to new entries to their record. These changes are to ensure Suppliers fully support General Practice in meeting this obligation by introducing the ability for GP Practices to set default access for newly enabled Patients and Patients when they turn 16 years old. Exclusion criteria has also been expanded to include additional SNOMED CT codes and some existing requirements have been refined due to these changes, and to ensure consistency with the wider Capabilities & Standards model.

See Online access to GP health records for further background.

...

All Foundation Suppliers must be compliant against the changes by the Effective Date.
