Enter entry number to correct (null to quit)
If you wish to amend the status of one of the displayed historic Medical Record
entries, enter the number (from the Entry column) in response to this prompt. Note that
you cannot amend the status of the current Medical Record entry. You can only enter a
number in this field, from 1 up to the highest number in the left-hand column on the
screen (maximum 8).
If you do not enter anything in this field, but just press Enter, you will be prompted to
enter another NHS number, so that you can change historic Medical Record
information for another patient.
Enter new status or null to leave unchanged
This prompt line appears if a Medical Record entry is selected in response to the
previous prompt. Enter the new status for the Medical Record entry. If you do not enter
anything in this field, but just press Enter, the status will remain unchanged.
Enter new status change date or null to default to today
This prompt line appears after you have responded to the previous prompt. Enter the
new required Change Date for the entry. The date may be entered in any of the formats
dd.mm.yy, dd.mm.yyyy, dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy.
If you do not enter anything in this field, but just press Enter, the Change Date will be
today's date.
Enter 'Y' to clear OSMR
This prompt line will only appear if an Outstanding Medical Record entry exists for
the record you have selected (i.e. if the 'OSMR' column contains Y). If you wish to
delete the OSMR flag, and remove the Y from the left-hand column on the screen,
enter Y in response to this prompt. To leave the OSMR flag unchanged, just press
Enter.
Enter 'Y' to confirm
To update the screen with the changes you have made, enter Y in response to this
prompt. To abandon the changes you have made, and leave the screen display as it
was, just press Enter.
In either case, you will be prompted to enter another NHS number.
Enter NHS number or * to re-edit (null to exit)
This prompt will reappear on the screen after you have confirmed or abandoned the
changes you have made. You can now either:
• enter another NHS number,
• enter * to make more changes to the same NHS number, or
• just press Enter to go back to the Additional Registration Utilities menu.
