Sharing data cross practices

VERY LOW

In testing we have identified a highly unlikely, but possible, condition where data might be shared inappropriately.

For the condition to be a possibility, you need to meet both scenarios below:-

  1. Two or more practices using Skyline - SHARING a room and a PC

  2. Both practices logging into the shared room PC using the SAME GENERIC WINDOWS LOGIN and NOT logging off when finished

Note, if you meet just criteria 1, this is NOT an issue as you’ll be using your own Windows login.

The use of generic logins is not compatible with Cyber Essentials or Data Security and Protection Toolkit accreditations so is considered highly unlikely to happen.

high

When click on SAVE an error is generated

This has been been referred to Emis - certificate error.

Workaround has been applied to Skyline so practices can continue adding data whist Emis and Informatica continue investigating

Temporary workaround applied to Skyline by Informatica until a permanent fix is sorted

Health Checks generated in this HC year with a QRISK of 20> is showing the patient as ineligible in error

Medium

We’re aware that Health Checks run in this Health Checks year are counting patients with a QRISK of 20> as ineligible for payment. Public Health have been advised however this view will be fixed shortly.

Family History of CVD and Family History of Diabetes questions are not always being populated in the health check template.

medium

If there’s a Family History of CVD or Diabetes code on the patients record and it’s older than 2 months, the box will be displayed. If there’s no code for FH of CVD or Diabetes, the box is not being displayed.

WORKAROUND

Open the QRISK calculator and answer the FH of CVD question. For FH of Diabetes, the code would need to be added manually into the patients record.

The QRISK scores produced by a Health Check when the QRISK calculator is not opened does not consider a patient's postcode.

medium

The QRISK score is auto calculated once sufficient data has been entered. Unless the QRISK calculator is opened within the Health Check template, the postcode isn’t taking into consideration when calculating the score. Note, the lack of postcode in the calculation doesn’t aways impact the score.

WORKAROUND

To be sure that the postcode is always calculated within the score you need to open the QRISK calculator and click on Calculate before saving the Health Check SNOMED codes.

Note, if the smoking status has also been changed during the Health Check, please reselect this in the QRISK calculator as per the workaround below

Within the ERICA Cohorts, severity column is showing incorrect risk wording however the actual risk is correct.

LOW

The risk is set to low as the ERICA study doesn’t use dashboards and cohorts, just the calculators on the DTC which are correct. There is no workaround as this is a display issue in Skyline.

Risk Scoring

  • A risk greater than 5% is considered HIGH (RED)

  • A risk score of between 2% and 5% inclusive is considered MODERATE (AMBER)

  • A score of less than 2% is considered LOW (NO COLOUR)

Data added after the 12/6/2023 will not be prepopulated in the Health Check template or Risk calculator

The analysis has been failing to fully analyse data uploaded into Skyline after the 12/6/2023.

Health Check Template - email printing on the plan instead of the clinicians name

low

Informatica are aware of an issue which only applies the first time your Skyline account is activated and a new password is set. The impact is the users email address prints at the end of the Health Check plan instead of the name.

We’re already on it and have a workaround script fix which we’re running several times a day to correct the Skyline user name. Unfortunately there’s still a minimal risk that if you activate your Skyline account and complete a Health Check straight away, we may not have had time to run the script before you finish the Health Check.

WORKAROUND

Until the permanent fix has been deployed please check the end of the plan and ensure this has a name and not an email address. If your email address is printed on the plan, you may want to cross this out.

Health Check Template - manually ticking ‘Blood Pressure Treatment’ in the QRISK Calculator is adding the wrong code, all other manual edits work as expected

Very Low

We’re aware that most clinical staff don’t make changes to the QRISK calculator within the Health Check template as this is automatically calculated; however we want to make you aware of a bug we’ve identified IF you manually edit the QRISK score within the Health Check.

During the Health Check, If you open the QRISK Calculator in the template, and ticking the symptom 'Blood Pressure Treatment', the code for 'Atrial fibrillation' is added to the coding tab in error. Please note, other symptoms are fine.

WORKAROUND

If you manually edit the QRISK Calculator and tick ‘Blood Pressure Treatment’, this will calculate the risk correctly BUT before adding the codes you MUST deselect Atrial fibrillation (49436004). You will then need to manually add Hypertension (38341003) into the patients clinical record.

Note, this is not the case when using the Calculator from the Skyline Desktop Connector.

low

WORKAROUND

The Health Check Completed code will need to be manually added on the date the Health Check was completed
