Background

As part of the RM135 - Personal Demographics Service Record Change Event Roadmap Item, new requirements were introduced to ensure existing Solutions subscribed to and actioned these PDS Record Change event messages appropriately.

Improvements to how the requirements are documented have been identified to help New Market Entrants better understand what is required and so these requirements are being restructured.

Outline Plan

No work is required from existing Suppliers. The requirements will be restructured on the Effective Date.

Summary of Change

Patient Information Maintenance - GP: MUST Epic added

E00XXX - automatically update Patient details for received PDS Record Change notifications

As a Health or Care Professional

I want to receive notifications when PDS information for a Patient is updated by the Patient

So that the information held for Patients by my Healthcare Organisation can be automatically updated

Acceptance Criterion 1: automatically update mobile phone number for Patients

Given a PDS Record Change notification has been received for a Patient

And the source of the change is specified as the Patient in the PDS Record Change notification

When the PDS Record Change notification includes a mobile phone number change for the Patient

Then the Patient’s mobile phone number is automatically updated

Acceptance Criterion 2: automatically update email address for Patients

Given a PDS Record Change notification has been received for a Patient

And the source of the change is specified as the Patient in the PDS Record Change notification

When the PDS Record Change notification includes an email address change for the Patient

Then the Patient’s email address is automatically updated
