Farewell to the patient

1
Farewell to the patient

• Note transfer to their next GP

2
How we pass on the computer record

• Farewell patient print out
• Active problems
• Medication
• Allergies, family history, immunisations
• Latest of each type of value/ test result
• All consultations since September 1997
• Printout of patient letters (since mid 1998)

3
Problems with most printouts

• Unwieldy to fit into envelope
• Not intuitive to use for GPs used to paper
  records
• Large sections of empty space
• Repetition of data
• In danger of cursory look, little data extraction
  and then shredding
