Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report of the Leicester City CCG, West Leicestershire CCG and East Leicestershire and Rutland CCG giving an update on the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Electronic Record Sharing project, focusing around Summary Care Record v2.1.  A copy of the report marked ‘Agenda Item 9’ is filed with these minutes.

During Phase 1 of the project, the roll out of the Summary Care Record to primary care, concerns had been raised by GPs regarding the quality of the template.  It was confirmed that feedback from GPs had been collated and that an updated version would be available in July.  However, it was not clear whether all feedback had been responded to.  Board members were asked to feedback any issues to James McKean, Project Manager, Electronic Record Sharing.

It was noted that Phases 2 and 3 of the project had commenced recently, and progress was being made.  The effectiveness of Phase 2, where the Summary Care Record would be made available for use in secondary care organisations, would be measured through its usage and uptake.  Data would be provided by NHS Digital.  The main challenge in Phase 3 related to the governance of sharing information between health and social care. 

It was noted that one of the drawbacks to the Summary Care Record was that it was based on source data from GP records and therefore relied on these being kept up to date.  Consideration was also being given to the benefits of information sharing through SystmOne.

It was requested that a detailed progress report be presented to the next meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board, and that this report include assurance on how GP feedback from Phase 1 had been addressed.

RESOLVED:

(a)  That the update on the LLR Electronic Record Sharing project be noted;

(b)  That a further detailed report be presented to the next meeting of the Health and Wellbeing Board.
