Reminder of Key Points\/Lessons Learnt<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Business Change Process:<\/b><\/span>\u00a0Please distribute this message to all referrers and secretaries, once services are live optical practices\/referrers\u00a0<\/span>SHOULD NOT be referring via email<\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for routine appointments.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Patient identification<\/b><\/span>: EeRS using the national Patient Demographic Service to identify a patient and their GP, however for clinical safety purposes this can be bypassed\u00a0<\/span>only IF the patient does not have an NHS number.<\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Any patient with no NHS number as they have never had NHS care or registered with a GP should be encouraged to register with a local GP to potential referral rejections.\u00a0<\/span>For all other patients please ensure you verify the patient’s details (as per their GP record) prior to submitting your referral.\u00a0<\/b><\/span>Failure to verify a patient may result in:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- An error in patient identification by the service provider.<\/span><\/li>\n
- The referral being rejected.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Incomplete flow\/process of the referral into clinical systems \u2013 including the national electronic Referral Service (eRS).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- \n
\n- This delays the referral as booking teams must manually extract and upload the patient referral from EeRS to their local booking systems.<\/span><\/li>\n
- No automatically generated referral tracking number (UBRN) \u2013 this is used by providers to track and monitor referral status and can be given to patients to chase\/manage their own referral and appointments.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \n
\n- The GP is not identified and therefore excluded from the automated distribution list for the triage ‘outcome letter’.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Large attachments including OCTs could be corrupted during the manual extraction process making them unavailable for clinic consultants.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Clinical Pathways:\u00a0<\/b><\/span>EeRS is designed to improve efficiencies, the quality of referrals, and to provide full reporting of your referrals. To do this each provider has agreed a list of clinical pathways (e.g. glaucoma, cataract, corneal). This allows the team to tailor the form to the pathway as well as the outcomes process. This will mean that as a referrer you will identify your patient > pick your chosen provider > pick the relevant pathway. We are aware however some cases are not straight forward, or a patient may be eligible for multiple pathways within one referral, therefore please\u00a0<\/span>select the most relevant or highest priority clinical pathway.<\/b><\/span>\u00a0If the consultant later decides the pathway was incorrect, they can move the referral to the correct pathway or if appropriate to another Derbyshire site; for example: Royal Derby paediatric team may feel the case is more clinically suitable for Burton paediatrics.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
