Intra PCT Patient Movements Count to Email
This utility provides historic counts information regarding the number of patients
changing their practice within a PCT. This allows agencies to see the impact that the
opening of a new practice has had on all local neighbouring practices.
The utility outputs a matrix of all practices responsible to a particular PCT, giving
counts of:
• the number of patients who have moved from each practice, to each practice
within the last year;
• the total figures for the entire year; and
• figures for each of the 52 weeks of the last year.
Directions
1. From the menu, select the option Intra PCT Patient Movements Count
to Email.
2. Enter a known, valid PCT code.
3. Enter the email address which will receive the output file.

NOTE
The lines in the example text file above have been wrapped due to their
length.
The contents of the text file are best viewed by importing it into Microsoft Excel.
Make sure you specify that the values within the file are comma-delimited.
The spreadsheet is laid out as follows:
• The "gaining" practices are shown along the top of the spreadsheet.
• The "losing" practices are listed in Column B.
• A "T" in Column A shows that these are totals for the last year.
• The values W1 to W52 in Column A show weekly totals for each week of the
year, with W1 being the last seven days, week 2 the week before that and so on.
An example of the spreadsheet is shown on page D-26.
