I've asked my GP for access to my medical records online, and repeat prescriptions etc. They've given me a letter with all the details I need, but first thing is to choice a provider out of a list of two.
The choice is:
1. Patient Access
2. i-Patient
Can anyone recommend which they think is best please?
Personally I have experience of Patient Access because that's the one offered by the surgery. Certainly the repeat prescription module is good not only for ordering but also reviewing what you have had in the last year. The booking service works well.
I only know about some aspects of the medical records module since the GP info doesn't show any data. However quite a bit of your own Apple Health Data can be shared in there.
you are lucky to be offered a choice! My GP practice uses EMIS (Patient Access) and it's very good for getting test results, booking appointments and repeat prescriptions. It also gives you a historical picture but this is as good as your electronic record only so doesn't go back to the paper era unless your GP has transcribed it. What I can't see on EMIS is correspondence from hospitals and any notes the GP has made - it just lists my medical conditions that have been flagged. I don't know if i-patient is any different
Anyone use i-Patient?
Hi, I asked to see my records in person, ( mostly handwritten ) I'm not sure I would do it online though, but for the question I would opt for access,
