Transcript LARC Read Code Project - London Sexual Health Programme

LARC Read code project
Alison de Metz
Public Health Improvement Lead
NHS London
Background
• Initiated by GP champions, led by Sarah
Williams (NE London)
• Read codes agreed for London summer
2011
• Template development by Queen Mary’s
Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG)
autumn 2011
Where are we now and what next?
• Templates created and tested for EMIS Web,
LV, Vision and PCS.
• Need volunteers to pilot templates for
TPP and Synergy
• Installation instructions, technical guidance
and FAQs will be available; managed
telephone support from CEG
• Need to identify support for local
implementation
Please pick codes from within the list above. You do not need to use every code e.g. if
locally you do not distinguish between routine and emergency IUD fittings then you could
use 6151 ‘IUD fitted’ for both. However please avoid using any codes that are not on the list
above for fitting, removal or checking of LARC methods, including avoiding using similar
terms eg ‘iud refitted’ (6153).
