Covid searches in PatientChase – new updates - LD and more

7th Mar 2021

In line with modifications in vaccination criteria, please update PatientChase and re-import the searches from EMIS.

These falls in line with the most recent government guidelines.

Vaccination criteria are changing often. Recent government changes are the following:

  • Extra searches added which are under 50s not in any group due 2nd jab
  • Learning Difficulty patients added to Group 6

We’ve also added the location of the where the jab was taken to search results:

In order to load these updated Covid criteria please update PatientChase to version 72.

Subsequently, you will also need to REIMPORT the latest Covid searches into EMIS to import these changes.

To do this, please follow this guide

The most useful and user friendly software that I have encountered in over 30 years of working with management systems.

I am so glad that we as a practice have purchased PatientChase – it has completely revamped our recall system, has been invaluable during flu recall season and more importantly shows us where the ‘holes’ are when we get to near the end of the QoF year. Many thanks!

PatientChase is an excellent product of which I think as soon as you purchase it you will ask yourself ‘how ever did I cope without it?!
