Thanks for the explanation, Dave.
I've marked this as future consideration. The investigation that undertook underlined the fact that a dataset that does not include GP Connect data is not useful to a Medical Examiner or a Coroner.
We have asked GP Connect to indicate when they will be able to release records for deceased patients and, when they do, we will progress with work to allow deceased patient information to be accessed in the portal.
Kind regards
As an example as why this would be useful, if a patient not well known to our hospital dies in the Emergency Deparyment, we often have to refer to the coroner, whereas if we could see from the GP record an extensive history of ischaemic heart disease, coronial input would be avoided. We also see it sometimes with hospice patients whose main care has been in other institutions. Medical Examiners already have the IG rights to this information (from an instruction from the Secretary of State) and will soon be by an amendment to the Health Records Act.
