Interesting facts about patient information

When a patient comes to the GP post, it is often important to have extra information about that patient. This can be done by being able to consult the file via the LSP. Important matters can also be done via a memo (basic memo, memo attention patient, memo vulnerable elderly person, memo palliative care patient, memo resuscitation policy) so that this is brought to the attention much more. It is important to know which information is accessible to whom: is this at the national level or at the postal level.
- With the current LSP op-out scheme (agreed in the context of COVID19), the partitions between the LSP have been removed, allowing you to question the entire country on an LSP file. There is talk of returning this to the original situation before corona. This means that the partitions in the LSP will be replaced. In that case, the information is only accessible to the relevant HAP to which the own GP is affiliated. If there are actually any changes to this, we will hear about it via Topicus.
- A memo created within VipLive Spoed EPD (Topicus HAP) is only accessible to the relevant HAP, i.e. at post level. Another HAP cannot see this memo.
- A memo that has been created in the HIS of the own GP can be seen via the LSP if the LSP file is correctly supplied and queried. This is at the national level. As long as the OPT-OUT scheme applies.
- A memo that is created via emergency EPD/Topicus is only visible to the relevant HAP where it was created. So at HAP post level, for example, this is the whole of The LIMES.
