The Haddenham Medical Centre's PPG (Patient Participation Group) has recently introduced a series of free-to-participate workshops, aimed at helping patients of the Practice to gain online access to their own medical records, book appointments and request repeat prescriptions.
These workshops are held approximately once per month, and the initiative has received public acknowledgement by Healthwatch Bucks.
According to the PPG Chairmain, Barry Lynch: "The number of patients using online systems is surprisingly low, mainly due to the arcane process of registration. Unfortunately, we are not aware of any NHS initiative to ease this process and the only apparent solution is to give personal one-to-one help to patients to help them get up and running."
"In 2018 we found that many patients weren't sure how to use the online systems. We found that a large number had signed up to use the system but hadn't registered properly to get started. Others found it difficult to operate their own devices (whether it was a laptop, mobile phone or tablet). So we thought some IT coaching and help with using their own devices was also needed."
The Haddenham PPG set up a training programme to help patients use "Patient Access".
"We couldn't get any support from Emis, the software company providing "Patient Access". Our requests for help went unanswered. We realised quickly we were on our own with this enterprise! We made a Power Point presentation which goes through all the registration steps and then the system's various features."
"In October 2018 we held our first training session and have continued with further sessions every couple of months. Many patients needed one-to-one help. So besides presenting the slideshow we had several PPG volunteers on hand to give individual help. We found that the surgery was the best place to hold the training sessions. This meant the reception staff were on hand to check the patient IDs (as required by the registration process). It also allowed us to print out registration details and reset patient accounts that had locked out due to too many incorrect log in attempts."
