Hi All,

Am getting increasing numbers of PCT specialist services using System One and wanting to be able to link to our ICE systems in the same way that GP Practices do.

However....seems there is a problem with the 'identifier' of such systems. Am assuming that ICE and TPP use the National practice code as the identifier. However for a PCT specialist service install of System One the identifier recently sent through to me is a 12 numeral reference number. Anglia advise that this cannot be recognised (max field length they can recognise is 10).

Anyone else come across this problem ? Is there some other identifier that I should point my PCT IT staff towards ? Are TPP willing to adjust the identifier numbers down from 12 to 10 figures ?

Any help or words of wisdom gratefully received.

Regards

Hi Dave,

have you made any progress on this yet? we are expecting most of our community services to move to TPP over the next year and I have been wondering how they will be identified and how they will be grouped into 'practices' on TPP. If I get any more information I'll pass it on.
