The instructions below cover how to complete a patient call in Skyline.
Logging Into Skyline

Launch the web interface via the open browser application option in the Desktop Connector
Generating A Health Checks Invites Recall List
NOTE, Recalls should NOT be downloaded in the Health Check Activity This Year cohort as this includes all patients 40-74, eligible and ineligible.
Select the Health Checks Solution
Under Cohorts, select the Patients to be invited / Eligible patients Cohort
The list of patients displayed can be refined using the Filters button see How To Setup And Save A Filter View In Health Checks
NOTE, before completing the download below, ensure that the list of patients is correct.
Download will add the code to ALL patients in the list even if you only highlight one.
Once you have your list of patients
Click on the Action menu
Select Download
This will produce a box showing the fields that can be downloaded into an excel document
Save As - you can change the default file name (the file will be an Excel file)
The boxes show the data fields that can be downloaded for each patient
Select All and Select None buttons can be used to speed up the selection
You can click on Select All or Select None to clear all boxes and just chose those you want exporting
Tick all the required boxes you want downloading (e.g. NHS No, DOB)
Clicking on download will create the excel file and open a windows dialogue box
Browse to the folder where you want the document file to be saved
Click on save
Adding An Invite Code Into The Patients Clinical Record
Once the patient invites have been generated, you’ll want to add a code into the patients clinical record.
With the cohort still filtered select "Add code To Patients"
A box will open with codes that can be added to the patient records
Select the required code and click on the Add Code button
The code will be added to all patients listed in the cohort filter
Note, if there’s an error adding the codes into Emis Web, the codes will be saved in Pending Data ready for posting once the issue has been resolved. Please contact support@ishealth.co.uk and advise on the error generated
The cohort will be updated with the invite codes the next time Skyline receives data from the clinical system; this is usually within 24 to 48 hours.
