In June, SystmOne users saw an extra benefit to SystmOne - or rather, they
didn't.
SystmOne has lightened the load of GP practices by automatically collating and
sending pneumococcal vaccine returns to the Department of Health.
Each year, the Department of Health collates data about the number of patients
who have received a pneumococcal vaccine. Every practice is asked to source this
data and submit it to the Department of Health - it's traditionally a time-consuming
task but SystmOne practices don't lift a finger.
SystmOne automatically runs the reports as specified by the Department of Health.
It then sends these reports to the DH electronically; practices don't need to
do a thing.
This is the same process that SystmOne uses to send the Seasonal Influenza Returns
to the Department of Health throughout the winter.
Pneumococcal and Influenza returns have been implemented by TPP at no extra cost
to users or PCTs.
"All the hard work in creating a single hosted clinical application is paying
off," says TPP director, Drew Littler. "It means that we can implement these
one-off and monthly returns with ease. The clinical reporting tool is now so
rich that almost everything the DH can ask for is already there!"
