I have lived in Spain (Valencia) for the last 12 years and it was, until recently, the patients who collected their results from the clinic and made the appointment with the GP. I say, until recently, because due to having computerised the whole process, the results are now sent to the file in the GP's clinic. Maybe Spanish patients also need an access portal David G Brown Valencia España e-mail [log in to unmask] ________________________________ From: Jonathan Kay <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, 18 May 2012, 10:35 Subject: Patient direct access to reports A few points: 1 The smart way to do this is by patient access to the GP system. That would include access to LM reports but also to other record elements and to transactions such as appointments and medicine management. (In other words: don't build a project that only covers LM reports.) 2 The best way to handle investigations related to monitoring differs from the best way to handle investigations related to diagnosis or screening. 3 These projects will take off very fast because they will use 'net and 'phone based architectures, and not fall into the trap of organisation-based architectures that causes us so many problems. 4 This will be a major part of the ACB Spotlight day (see below), and Amir Hannan will be there. He is the world expert GP on how to do this well. See you there. Jonathan 26 June 2012 – Adding Value to Laboratory Medicine Reports Organised by Jonathan Kay for the ACB Spotlight series. With the emphasis on accuracy and precision in diagnostics, quality can often fail at the final hurdle – the reporting and presentation of those results. Covering general topics about the basics of getting information to the right people from consultants to GPs to patients, this meeting will deal with reliability and error limits, improved graphic displays as well as a debate and vote on adding interpretative comments. This is your chance to become part of forming the consensus best practice. It will include haematology and microbiology speakers and data as well as from clinical biochemistry and immunology. An essential meeting for medical and scientific staff involved in ANY branch of diagnostic care. Speakers include – Jonathan Kay, Bill Bartlett, Craig Webster, Danielle Freedman Brian Shine as well as GPs Drs Amir Hannan and Filson Ali Topics include – · Statement of problems · Getting reports to the right people and systems · How to display data in our reports · Complex Haematology reports · Microbiology reports · Reports to patients · Debate Motion: Adding interpretative comments to reports is a good use of my time.
