Two Steps to GP Connect Appointments
To assist in the implementation of GP Connect and support efficient 24 hour access to care for patients across England, Cegedim has recently launched a new version of its Appointments application.
Developed to deliver extended 24/7 appointment access across healthcare settings such as emergency services and NHS 111, the new Appointments 2.3.3 version enables GP Practices in England to select multiple healthcare organisations to share their appointment books with and easily tag selected appointment slots for GP Connect availability - offering flexibility for NHS 111 staff and directly enabling them to book appointments for patients at convenient times.
In order to take full advantage of GP Connect Appointments functionality you will need to follow two essential steps:
Step 1 - Appointments Setup
All practices will be required to upgrade to Cegedim's Appointments Setup. To do this you will first need to carry out a review of your existing appointment data via our easy to use VADAR tool. This will ensure that there are no issues with your data before the upgrade takes place. Once this has been completed, you can simply Request Appointments Setup and select a preferred date of installation. To get started on how to do this, please take a look at our Step by Step Guide.
Upon completing your move to Appointments Setup you will automatically upgrade to Appointments 2.3.3, where you will gain access to all the exciting new functionality to collaborate with emergency services & NHS 111.
Step 2 - Vision 3 DLM770 Release
It is essential that you have the latest version of our Vision 3 clinical system. We will soon be releasing version DLM770, which will facilitate the complete GP Connect Appointments functionality. Please keep an eye out for the launch of our Vision 3 DLM770 update coming soon.
Get started now and ensure your practice is GP Connect operational to provide invaluable patient care.
