Docman EDT
|
Electronic Document Transfer (EDT)enables practices to receive documents sent electronically from Acute Trusts directly into Docman. Electronic Document Transfer (EDT) provides a secure, reliable, flexiblesolution for the electronic communication of documentation between Secondary and Primary Care. EDT Server captures documents from Secondary Care systems and distributes them to Docman EDT enabled GP practices. Docman EDT enables GP practices to receive electronic documents directly into Docman for filing into the GP clinical system and onward workflow. Smoothing the paper trail from Trust to Practice EDT saves considerable time compared with manual handling of documents, resulting in a cost effective solution for improved communications between hospitals and GPs. Electronic documents can be sent and received immediately with real time acknowledgement back to the sender. EDT also reduces administrative scanning and filing costs for GP practices. EDT is designed to easily integrate with your existing IT infrastructure, allowing any type of documents to be sent to GPs such as: Discharge summaries Clinical letters Clinical reports Docman EDT can handle any document type including: HTML, XML, TIF, PDF, DOC, RTF, TXT EDT enables GP practices to receive documents directly from hospitals electronically without the need for manual attachment or scanning. If additional information is sent with the document (known as 'meta-data') it can be used to automatically identify patient and document details without user intervention. Processing documents via EDT saves considerable time compared with manual handling of documents, resulting in greatly improved communications between the hospitals and GPs.

EDT provides
GPs with a central location for all incoming clinical
correspondence. Implementation requires that an Acute Trust has the ability to send documents electronically. This may be via NHS Email, a proprietary intranet based system, a clinical document source (eg. Medisec.NET) or via PCTI's "EDT Server". EDT Server is used to broker documents from departmental and middleware integration systems directly to practices using Docman EDT. We accept document "feeds" from the main Secondary care document creators including Sunquest, Indigo4, Carestream, Graphnet, SRC, Dictate.IT.
Compatible with CfH Interoperability Toolkit (ITK) discharge summary
messaging standards. Please
