Issue Summary
The statement addresses an issue with Accurx Batch Messaging, a system used by GP practices for sending vaccination invitations to patients, where incorrect codes were applied in some cases.
Action Requested
Accurx has amended its clinical coding and GP practices are reviewing patient records to ensure accurate and up-to-date information. NHS England and Integrated Care Boards will support this process and conduct a root cause analysis to prevent future issues.
Key Facts
- Around 57,000 records across 337 GP practices have been affected.
- The issue primarily affects RSV vaccination records (up to 2% of vaccines administered).
- On average, each affected GP practice needs to review less than 200 cases.
