Introduction

The Summary Care Record (SCR) is an electronic record of important Patient information, created from GP medical records. It can be seen and used by authorised staff in other areas of the health and care system involved in the Patient's direct care.

From an interoperability perspective there are two aspects to the summary care record:

  1. The creation and updating of the summary care record
  2. Providing the ability for authorised staff to access the summary care record, for which there are a range of options

Both of these aspects are covered in the documentation below.

Additional information is available at NHS Digital's summary care record site


Requirements 

Applicable Suppliers
Requirement
Level
Suppliers of new services or applications (i.e. those which are NOT currently deployed into an operational environment with existing SCR compliance).Implement and maintain the API inline with the latest specification version of SCR FHIR API.MUST
Suppliers of services which ARE currently deployed into an operational environment, and have existing SCR compliance.

Implement the requirements detailed in GP Summary Requirements v5.8.3 or later e.g. SCR FHIR API

MUST

All suppliers are encouraged to work towards compliance with the latest version as above.

Compliance, Assurance and Testing

SCR FHIR API

For Suppliers of new services or applications, see the Summary Care Record(SCR) section on Onboarding Overview of the Digital Care Services Interoperability Standards and Requirements.

NHS Summary Care Record Service - GP Summary Requirements v5.8.3

For Suppliers of services which ARE currently deployed into an operational environment:

  Click here to view historical assurance approach

To gain access to SCR suppliers follow the Common Assurance Process (CAP). CAP is an end-to-end assurance process, which involves a tailored (CAP) approach being developed which states what deliverable and activities are conducted.

As part of the CAP suppliers will be asked to demonstrate adherence to the following specifications:

  • CAP Information Governance Compliance Requirements
  • External Interface Specification
  • NHS Messaging Implementation Manual
  • Personal Demographics Service Integration Requirements
  • Summary Care Record Integration Requirements (see details below)

These specifications contain a set of generic requirements applicable to all systems seeking compliance to a business domain. Compliance with these specifications is mandatory and established through the CAP.

The NPFIT-SCR-SCRDOCS-0038.01 NHS CFH SCR Clinical Message Validation Process v1.docx document provides guidance on the clinical safety validation processes for SCR messaging.

Documentation

SCR FHIR API

For Suppliers of new services or applications:

  • API Catalogue - Summary Care Record (SCR) FHIR API
  • GP software developer guide
  • Testing APIs

It is recommended to read GP software developer guide in conjunction with the API documentation.

Summary Care Record Creation

GP Summaries are created and sent to the Summary Care Record repository (on Spine) via messaging from GP systems which implement the Patient Information Maintenance - GP capability.

To create summary care records and provide them to the service, suppliers must implement the requirements detailed in GP Summary Requirements v5.8.3.

Summary care messages contain XHTML information and generated messages must conform to the specification in NPFIT-SHR-MODL-SUMREC-0025 08 GP Summary Presentation Text Specification v3.1 (Approved).xlsx

Implementations must comply with the NPFIT-EP-DB-0007.05 Allergy_ADR_Intolerance v 1.5 Draft.doc for all representations of medication-related adverse clinical events.

Implementations must comply with the SCR GP Summary Sending Compliance v3 - Baseline Index v6.0

Message definitions are detailed in the Domain Message Specification (DMS) for Summary Care Record  

Further information useful for implementers of this interface such as Use Cases, Trigger Events and Sequence Diagrams may be found in the Spine Message Implementation Manual (MIM).  NB version 4.2 is the version used for the GP Summary Update message.

Also, see MIM 4.2.00 Known Issues.doc

Summary Care Record Viewing

SCR viewing must be implemented in line with the Summary Care Record Permission To View Guidelines.pdf

General requirements for SCR viewing (regardless of implementation mechanism) are set out in NPFIT-FNT-TO-DPM-0929.03 SCR Viewing Requirements v1.6 (Approved).docx

Guidance for implementing Role-Based Access Control for SCR viewing is found in NPFIT-SI-SIGOV-0073 04 Guidance on Implementing RBAC for PSIS and PDS v2.0.doc

Suppliers have a number of options for implementing summary care record viewing, as detailed below:

Spine mini servicesSpine mini services (SMS) are a more lightweight way of developing read-only integration with some national Spine services. SMS Client systems allow SCR access with patient permission and for Emergency Reasons. SCR Viewing systems will be able “plug into” the SCR Spine Mini-Service functionality of the SMS Provider. The SMS Provider system provides various defined functions and services for SCR Viewing systems, e.g. the SMS Provider would retrieve GP Summaries and manage “Permission to View” on behalf of viewing systems (clients).

Full SCR integration

Integration of SCR information into the GP clinical system. 

A GP system retrieves GP Summaries from the Summary Care Record on Spine using the PSIS Query message and displays it via appropriate screens within the GP clinical system.
