Professor Mike Richards CBE

ePCS - What is it?
An electronic Palliative Care Summary An extension to Emergency Care Summary (ECS) & Gold Standards Framework Scotland (GSFS) For use both In Hours & OOH ePCS replaces current faxed communications Allows GPs & Nurses to record in one place
Diagnosis, Rx, Pt Understanding & Wishes, Anticipatory Care Plans, review dates, lists for meetings
![Page 8: Difficult discussions at the end of life SCIMP Nov 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/568152dd550346895dc0fb46/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
ECS
Patient info from GP computers -> ECS store twice daily
Medication & Allergies 97% of GP Practices >5 million patients
Explicit Consent to view ‘Read only’ available to… NHS24, A&E, AMAU, SAS

Palliative Care DES (1 of 26!)
1. Put pt on Palliative Care Register Clinical, Pt choice, Surprise Question From Prognostic Indicator Guidance
2. Send OOH form/ePCS within 2w 3. Make Anticipatory Care Plan – as ePCS inc. Preferred Place of Care/death 4. When dying use LCP /locally agreed pathway
Aim- encourage anticipatory care, for all diagnoses
![Page 26: Difficult discussions at the end of life SCIMP Nov 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/568152dd550346895dc0fb46/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

ePCS – Benefits
Natural progression from GSFS & ECS Fits into day to day work of GPs & DNs Aims to identify patients “upstream” ie last 6-12 months, not just last days/weeks Encourages Anticipatory Care Planning Prompts to remind to ask about “difficult” issues
“Just in Case”, DNA CPR, PPoC Shares critical info. on vulnerable patients at important times. OOH & Secondary Care say it transforms care Patients & carers reassured Safer, better experience
![Page 28: Difficult discussions at the end of life SCIMP Nov 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/568152dd550346895dc0fb46/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Key Information Summary
Proposal / Early development stageAims to replace paper based faxing of
“Special Notes” from GP PracticesMore generic version of ePCSSupport for:
electronic Anticipatory Care Plans (eACP) Long Term Conditions Mental Health
Use existing infrastructure and process
![Page 29: Difficult discussions at the end of life SCIMP Nov 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/568152dd550346895dc0fb46/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Principles of KIS
Patient consent required to send informationExplicit Consent to view record Review date & consent only mandatory fieldsFlexible
Only send information required
Focused on Patient Wishes and SafetyKIS sent automatically to ECSFurther consultation with patients and
clinicians to be carried out

4 Sections on KIS
Section 1 – “Special Note” Free text field for information (usually to OOH) Review date and consent Patient and Carer details
Section 2 – Current Situation Main Diagnosis and Current Issues ACP / Self Management Plan agreement BP and Oxygen

KIS Next Steps
Further consultation plannedDevelopment of specifications and planDiscussions with GP SuppliersDiscussions with End UsersAccelerate to support eACP timescalesLearn from ePCS rollout….Maintain patient focus
![Page 33: Difficult discussions at the end of life SCIMP Nov 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/568152dd550346895dc0fb46/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Summary
ePCS rollout well underway with increasing use and clinical benefit
Further projects underway on ECS to build upon existing infrastructure and process
Key Information Summary (KIS) expected to make significant difference to patient safety and care
