GP data requirements

Setting and monitoring these standards will enable pathology to achieve NHS information quality assurance standards. By adhering to these standards less duplication of patient records and more integral electronic health records can be achieved; for example, the transfer of results to shared clinical record systems. The Data Protection Act also requires data to be current, accurate and complete.
