It would be so useful to let secondary care providers access the SMR directly into their ERS systems. We have a specific use in Pre Op assessment when need to know the GP medications prior to surgery and for TTAs post inpatient discharge and a direct link would save so much transcription.

if pharmacies could integrate with an SCR API we could better support patients in managing their repeat medication, especially if compliance patients.

Hospice Sector - I am particularly interested in access to the Summary Care Record for children's hospices. We have software that could integrate if we were given access to the API

I would like to prototype an application which uses AI to provide dashboard for **the patient** to investigate their own health, ask questions of their history, look for patterns, etc.

It would be useful to get this even just for **my own** personal data so I can prototype, in order to make the case for this application.

This is highly beneficial for patients on waiting lists, as it provides Independent providers with a clearer picture. In our case, we focus on providing neurodiversity assessments. This information offers an accurate and up-to-date record of the patient, supporting both the diagnostic journey and the multidisciplinary team (MDT).

Access to this information would alleviate pressure on primary care when prescribing ADHD medication, as we can gather the necessary information ourselves.

Hospices - Access to this API would allow our software to improve the current appointment systems and care process for end of life patients at our local hospices and homes.

Allergy data can change during a hospital attendance. A FIHR structure to make updates by a hospital would help maintain GP and Hospital concordance. I understand this affects the principle of SCR being a community responsibility but feel it is worth consideration.

Secondary care trusts are presenting use cases in tenders that require direct integrated access to the summary care record therefore request integration with the secondary care EPRs. To align to NHS requirements for WGLL and human centred design processes drive the requirement to have a deep level of integration that can navigate directly to the SCR from an EPR maintaining the context of the patient record in use within the EPR. The use cases include emergency care services, medicines reconciliation processes for admitted patient care and pre-operative assessment processes.
