Referrals into Pharmacy (Application 5)

Use Cases Supported

This application supports the use of the following use cases:

  • Primary Care to Community Pharmacy (Pharmacy First)

Introduction

Overview

This page provides guidance for implementing the Referral Standard (BaRS) specifically for the use cases listed above. It should be used alongside the BaRS Core implementation guide and Payload Definitions when developing to the standard.

Data model endorsements

The GP to Pharmacy (Pharmacy First) Minor Illness referral information data model is informed by user research with pharmacy service providers. We have engaged with NHS England (NHSE) Policy teams to establish the service information requirements. The data model is based on the Community Pharmacy Standard v3.0 as defined and endorsed by the Professional Records Standards Body (PRSB). The referral information has been validated by the NHSE Pharmacy Clinical Reference Group. This provides the necessary confidence that solutions built to the standard will be both fit for purpose and safe.

Scope and Requirements

Scope Overview

This BaRS Application (Referrals into Pharmacy Application 5) supports the following use case ONLY:

  • GP to Pharmacy - Pharmacy First (for Minor Illness Service)

The payload and workflow have been designed to support this service. Other BaRS Applications offer scope for alternative use cases.

Functional Scope

Service Discovery

  • Establishing a service to direct requests to is a mandatory step in the workflow
  • There is no restriction on the service discovery tools used. Any are capable of being supported whether national or proprietary. However, the NHS England Directory of Services supports this application and futher details are provided in the 'Find a Service' section
  • The service must be configured within the BaRS infrastructure (Endpoint Catalogue) before requests can be made

Referral

  • A referral is a request for care, on behalf of an individual, from one service to another
  • The referral can be sent without having to establish the capacity of the receiving service
  • The referral will contain primarily clinical information, indicating the need of the individual and must state the anticipated action required by the receiving service (see Task FHIR resource)

API-M

  • All requests and responses associated with BaRS must occur through the BaRS API Proxy

Constraints

  • All Service IDs in First of Type (FoT) will be those from the Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC) Directory of Services (DoS)
  • No guidance is provided on the display of referral information beyond the Principles for rendering BaRS Payload
  • Consent within BaRS will be for Direct-Care only
  • Certificates for Receiving messages to use nhs.uk domains only
  • Receiving endpoints are to be internet facing
  • Clincial Constraints exist - See Hazard Log
  • No element level 'updates' to requests are supported. A new request must be generated to change information in the referral request
  • Reduce Scope and Requirements for beta phase to support delivery timeline

Requirements

Service Discovery

  • The service must support a unique identifier which the Sender extracts to engage in the BaRS referral workflow

Referral

  • Clinical and non-clinical users must be capable of making referrals
  • The referral Receiver must accept the referral request regardless of whether the patient is known to the service provider
  • The referral Receiver must accept potential patients who do not have a national validated identifier e.g. NHS Number.
  • Where a national identifier is included, it must have a verification status of 'Number present and verified' or 'Number present but not traced', otherwise, the referral Sender must not include it in the request
  • Any new or existing individual requirements, e.g. need for interpreter, recorded as part of the assessment, should be included in the referral Sender's request
  • The referral Receiver must clearly identify any included individual requirements to the end user
  • The referral Receiver must accurately represent information made by the Sender to the end user
  • The referral Sender must include the Pharmacy Service that the request is intended for (from the defined list)
  • The referral Sender must indicate consent to share (for Direct Care) to the Receiver
  • The referral Sender should indicate the urgency (providing timeframe within which included actions are expected to take place) of the request to the Receiver
  • The referral Sender should indicate novel medications, established during the latest assessment and not available on existing records, to the Receiver
  • The referral Sender should indicate novel allergies, established during the latest assessment and not available on existing records, to the Receiver
  • The referral Sender should indicate localised Special Patient Notes (SPNs) to the Receiver
  • The referral Sender must make available the human readable identifier for the referral, included in the HTTP synchronous response, to the end user so they can share with the patient/third party
  • Where the referral was not successful, the Receiver must send an appropriate response. See failure scenarios for more detail.
  • Where the referral was not successful, the Sender must present an appropriate message to the end user. See failure scenarios for more detail.
  • Update to amend a referral request is not supported. If a referral Sender wishes to change information in a request they must follow the re-refer workflow

Cancel referral

  • The referral Sender should be capable of cancelling any referral made by them, within the current consultation or after the consultation event
  • The referral Sender must perform a read of the referral to be cancelled, from the referral Receiver, prior to cancellation to ensure they are working with the most up-to date information and it has not already been actioned
  • Where the cancellation was not successful, the Receiver must send an appropriate response. See failure scenarios for more detail.
  • Where the cancellation was not successful, the Sender must present an appropriate message to the end user. See failure scenarios for more detail.
  • The referral Receiver must store all previous versions of the referral
  • The referral Receiver must not be required to inform the patient of the cancellation of the referral.  Business/clinical responsibility for informing the patient remains with the referral Sender

Re-refer

  • The referral Sender should be capable of re-referring within the current consultation or after the consultation event
  • If the patient recontacts the sending service after the sender's consultation has been completed, the patient should be reassessed prior to attempting to re-refer
  • The referral Sender should revoke the original referral prior to making a re-referral, whether within the current consultation or after the consultation event
  • Where the re-referral was not successful, the Receiver must send an appropriate response. See failure scenarios for more detail.
  • Where the re-referral was not successful, the Sender must present an appropriate message to the end user. See failure scenarios for more detail.
  • The referral Receiver must not be required to inform the patient of the cancellation, incurred as part of the re-refer process.  Business/clinical responsibility for informing the patient remains with the referral Sender

Contacts

  • A minimum of one contact (patient or third party) with a contact method (phone, email, etc.) of phone must be provided in referral requests
  • All contacts must have a rank associated with them
  • There must be only one contact with a rank of 1
  • All contacts must have at least one contact method (phone, email, etc.)
  • All contact methods must have a rank
  • There must be only one contact method with a rank of 1
  • The contact ranked 1 and the contact method ranked 1 must be the primary callback for the request

Audit

  • Sufficient information around any activity through the API and subsequent BaRS workflow must be persisted to aid support incidents and audit requirements

Error Handling

Non Functional

How does it work?

This section describes how the primary operations used in this application work. This diagram illustrates the workflow and interactions of a referral request:

To support the workflows for this application of the standard the operations that need to be supported are:


Find a Service

The BaRS referral process as shown above does not include guidance on how a user should determine if a referral to Pharmacy is appropriate for the patient. It is the responsibility of the referring organisaton to ensure patients are pre-screened by GP Practice staff (care navigators or clinicians) prior to beginning the referral process, using their own judgement or an appropriate triage tool.

Directory of Services API

Pharmacy services are profiled on the Directory of Services (DoS).

For this application, systems should use the Directory of Services - Urgent and Emergency Care - REST API.

Details on how to develop to use this API and onboard to use it in production, are provided in the links above.

For this application the Service Type search will be used: Search by Service Type | docs-dos-api (developer.nhs.uk).

Guidance on how to call the DoS API

This API supports a search by location (e.g. the patient's current location). Note that the DoS API used does not support the concept of searching for services that are open within a given timeframe, however the results from DOS include all opening times. The service search results should be filtered to those that are open in the timeframe required for the referral. The filtered results should be displayed back to the user, in order to allow them to choose with the patient where they want to go.

The search parameters to be used are as follows:

Parameter Type Required? GP to Pharamcy Guidance Notes
caseID String No Do not populate
postcode String Yes Populate with where the GP Practice is or the Patient’s home address – dependent on where the patient is now
searchDistance Integer No Do not populate – the default value is 37.5 miles which is more than adequate search radius
gpPracticeID Integer No Do not populate
age Integer No Do not populate
gender String No Do not populate
disposition String No Do not populate
serviceTypeIds Array Yes Use the relevant service type for the need required in the referral – as detailed further in next section
numberPerType Integer No Do not populate

Guidance on service search and which services to display

Pharmacy Service Type Search method Opening Hours Guidance
Community Pharmacy Consultation Service and Common Conditions Service Use Service Type ID 131- Pharmacy Urgent Meds Supply
Note this is labelled 'Pharmacy Urgent Meds Supply', but it is deemed appropriate to return one profile per Pharmacy that will do Pharmacy Urgent Meds Supply, CPCS and CCS.
These services are time critical and the patient must be seen within 24 hours, and so any pharmacies closed now (or closing in the next 30 mins) AND not open in the next 24 hours should not be displayed to the user.
Discretion is permitted if the nearest pharmacy is open now but due to close soon.

If no pharmacies in the local area are open in the next 24 hours then a message needs to be clearly displayed to the user so they can consider other alternatives. (Note this is a very unlikely scenario – but may happen in rural areas with only a few nearby Pharmacies or around bank holiday weekends).

Ensure the display clearly shows:
  • The opening times, to allow the user to provide opening times to the patient so that they can go to the pharmacy when it is open.
  • The phone number for the pharmacy; the user can give this to the patient so they can call and pre-arrange when to come in.
  • Blood Pressure Check Service Use Service Type ID 149 - Pharmacy Blood Pressure Check This service is not time critical and so all nearest services can be displayed to the user.
    Ensure the display clearly shows:
  • The opening times, to allow the user to provide opening times to the patient so that they can go to the pharmacy when it is open.
  • The phone number for the pharmacy, so the user can give this to the patient in case they want to call and pre-arrange when to come in.
  • Pharmacy Contraception Service Use Service Type ID 149 - Pharmacy Contraception This service is not time critical and so all nearest services can be displayed to the user.
    Ensure the display clearly shows:
  • The opening times, to allow the user to provide opening times to the patient so that they can go to the pharmacy when it is open.
  • The phone number for the pharmacy, so the user can give this to the patient in case they want to call and pre-arrange when to come in.
  • When a service is chosen, the "Service ID" field in the DOS data will be used as the Receiver Service Identifier to then initiate the referral as per the following sections.

    Make a Referral

    Making a referral for this application follows the standard pattern for BaRS operations.

    The message definition that defines this payload for this application is: BARS Message Definition ServiceRequest - Request Referral


    In addition to that the specific workflow parameters that are required are as follows:

    Interaction Method Payload Focus Status Required (MessageHeader, ServiceRequest, Encounter)
    Referral Request (New) POST /$process-message{servicerequest-request} ServiceRequest (active) MessageHeader (EventCoding) = servicerequest-request
    MessageHeader (ReasonCode) = new
    ServiceRequest (Status) = active
    ServiceRequest (Category) = referral
    ServiceRequest (Category) = referraltopharmacy
    Encounter (Status) = triaged/finished
    All resources to include 'lastUpdated' value, under meta section

    Additionally the HTTP request header would be:

    NHSD-Target-Identifier = {Receiver Service Identifier}
    X-Request-Id = <GUID_000001>
    X-Correlation-Id = <GUID_000002>
    NHSD-End-User-Organisation = {FHIR Organisation (Base64 Encoded)}
    NHSD-Requesting-Practitioner = {FHIR Practitioner (Base64 Encoded)} 
    NHSD-Requesting-Software =  {FHIR Device (Base64 Encoded)}
    

    The HTTP response header would be:

    X-Request-Id = <GUID_000001>
    X-Correlation-Id = <GUID_000002>
    

    Cancel a Referral

    To cancel a referral this application follows the standard pattern for BaRS operations with an additional step. Before beginning the standard pattern as descbribed on the linked section, the referral sender must perform a read of the referral to be cancelled, from the referral receiver, prior to cancellation to ensure they are working with the most up-to date information and it has not already been actioned. This is done by performing a "GET ServiceRequest by ID" call to the receiving system's corresponding API endpoint (via the BaRS proxy).

    The response to this request will be the requested ServiceRequest resource which should be checked for its current status to ensure it does not already have a status of "revoked" or "completed". If not, this version of the ServiceRequest should be used when re-submitting the modified resource in the POST bundle as described in the standard pattern.

    The message definition that defines this payload for this application is: BARS Message Definition ServiceRequest - Request - Cancelled

    As a general principle, when performing an update type of operation (of which cancellation is a special case), only the focus resource, any resources that are mandated due to contextual, linking or referential integrity reasons and any resources that include elements that are being changed, should be include. This is always defined within the relevent message definition.

    If the update-to-cancel is taking place as part of a re-referral routine, once the cancellation is complete, the new referral message can be sent. This step in the workflow would follow the same process as 'Make a referral' detailed above.

    In addition the specific workflow parameters that are required are as follows:

    Interaction Method Payload Focus Status Required (MessageHeader, ServiceRequest, Encounter)
    Get Referral GET /ServiceRequest{id} n/a n/a
    Referral Request (Cancel) POST /$process-message{servicerequest-request} ServiceRequest (revoked) MessageHeader (EventCoding) = servicerequest-request
    MessageHeader (ReasonCode) = update
    ServiceRequest (Status) = revoked
    ServiceRequest (Category) = referral
    ServiceRequest (Category) = referraltopharmacy
    Encounter (Status) = triaged/finished
    All resources to include 'lastUpdated' value, under the meta section, which must be a later timestamp, on updates, if the content of a particular resource contains updated info. Otherwise, maintain the timestamp originally sent.

    Additionally the HTTP request header for the GET ServiceRequest would be:

    NHSD-Target-Identifier = {Receiver Service Identifier}
    X-Request-Id = <GUID_107>
    X-Correlation-Id = <GUID_108>
    NHSD-End-User-Organisation = {FHIR Organisation (Base64 Encoded)}
    NHSD-Requesting-Practitioner = {FHIR Practitioner (Base64 Encoded)} 
    NHSD-Requesting-Software =  {FHIR Device (Base64 Encoded)}
    

    The HTTP response header for the GET ServiceRequest would be:

    X-Request-Id = <GUID_107>
    X-Correlation-Id = <GUID_108>
    

    the HTTP request header for the POST $process-message would be:

    NHSD-Target-Identifier = {Receiver Service Identifier}
    X-Request-Id = <GUID_000003>
    X-Correlation-Id = <GUID_000002>
    NHSD-End-User-Organisation = {FHIR Organisation (Base64 Encoded)}
    NHSD-Requesting-Practitioner = {FHIR Practitioner (Base64 Encoded)} 
    NHSD-Requesting-Software =  {FHIR Device (Base64 Encoded)}
    

    The HTTP response header for the POST $process-message would be:

    X-Request-Id = <GUID_000003>
    X-Correlation-Id = <GUID_000002>

    Payloads

    MessageHeader Resource

    Standard Patterns for BaRS Operations explains in detail how the MessageHeader resource must be used.

    The MessageHeader resource for the Referral Request should have the following resource elements set as follows:

    • MessageHeader.eventCoding - must be populated with 'servicerequest-request'
    • MessageHeader.reasonCode - must be 'new' or 'update'
    • MessageHeader.focus - must reference the ServiceRequest FHIR resource
    • MessageHeader.definition - must adhere to Referral Request Message definition

    ServiceRequest Resource

    The 'focus' resource in a referral is the ServiceRequest resource. When the request 'message bundle' is created by the Sender and processed by the Receiver, this is the starting point from which the referral is understood. It provides either the detail or references to all key FHIR resources, for example, the Patient, Encounter and Careplan. The guidance for this resource below provides more granular, element level, detail. A key point when a Sender builds the referral FHIR 'message bundle' is to ensure the MessageHeader.focus references the ServiceRequest resource.

    Encounter Resource

    The Encounter is used to represent the interaction between a patient and healthcare service provider. It links with numerous other resources, to reflect the assessment performed.

    In the initial referral request, the Sender will include an Encounter resource as the container for their assessment, which established the need for the referral. This encounter should include a reference to the Sender's assessment under encounter.identifier. Additionally, the encounter.episodeOfCare must be populated with a 'Journey ID' reference which can be used in subsequent referrals to allow the audit of the route a patient took through service providers to resolve their initial request for care.

    A second Encounter resource is used to transfer the human readable reference of the newly created referral, at the Receiver side. When a referral request is made, the Receiver should include a new, secondary, encounter resource with the status of 'planned' in their synchronous HTTP response (200) to the Sender's request. This new 'planned' encounter will have both an Id and an Identifier value, indicating the Receiver's local reference and human readable one, respectively. This secondary, 'planned', encounter is not mandatory (cardinality of 0..1), unlike the primary encounter resource (1..1) (See the Entity Relationship Diagrams for reference). The human readable (Identifier) reference is intended to allow Senders to provide something to the patient which they can take between services to support consistent joined up care, although, it is also a useful link for the services themselves to use when discussing a patient's transition of care. The local (Id) reference is not intended to be human readable but rather machine readable.

    CarePlan Resource

    The CarePlan resource is used in a referral request to communicate the next steps in care, linking both the 'problem' identified (Condition resource, careplan.addresses), following the assessment performed by the Sender, and the required action to move the patient's issue to resolution (Task resource, careplan.activity.reference). The Receiver will utilise the detail in this resource to summarise what the previous assessment ascertained about the patient, to be used in any subsequent consultation with the patient. This overall clinical narrative and assessment output is included in this resource, under element careplan.outcomeCodeableConcept.text, as 'freetext'.

    Condition Resource

    The Condition resource is used to encapsulate the overall 'problem' the referral intends to resolve for the patient. The detail provided here underpins the rationale for the CarePlan and is a central resource for the Receiver looking for information about the patient and reason for referral.

    The key information about the 'problem' is comprised of two components within this Application, condition.category and condition.code. The category is used to qualify the code value, providing additional context to interpret the issue identified. For example, in this Application, the category will stipulate this is a 'presenting complaint', highlighting the provenance of the 'problem' for the Receiver to start their consultation. This is in addition to other specific status fields on the resource.

    Task Resource

    The Task is used to direct the next action(s) required by the Sender making the referral. Task supports in fulfilling Careplan, which also references it. The narrative within the payload starts with the assessment performed by the Sender (Encounter), identifying a 'problem' (Condition) which a plan of care (CarePlan) is established to address. The Sender is unable to support the plan of care so transitions responsibility, via a referral (ServiceRequest), while directing the next requested action (Task).

    This Application utilises two elements within Task to direct the activity and timeframe, using Task.code and Task.restriction. The code will be a fixed value, indicating that a consultation is being request of the 'Community Pharmacist Consultation Service for minor illness' (Pharmacy First), dictating the action should take place within twenty-four hours, under the restriction.period element. The patient is responsible for attending the pharmacy so the timeframe is a guide, indicating when the request is expected to occur. The pharmacist will only contact the patient if they have concerns based on the referral content.

    Flag Resource

    The Flag resource is used to communicate prospective warnings of potential issues when providing care to the patient. The population of the Flag Resource is optional as not all subjects will have relevant issues.

    BaRS Senders should populate Flag resources and should make adequate provision in their solution to support key flags in BaRS Application workflows, for example, Safeguarding, for this Application. When populating this resource, Senders must include both flag.category and flag.code values using the specific BaRS CodeSystems.

    When a BARS Receiver processes information in a Flag resource;

    • they should populate a flag in their system, if their solution supports that flag
    • they must display the information in the Flag resource in a way that supports the associated workflow (i.e. the relevant end users can see it and act upon it)
    • rendering of Flag information must be in line with the Principles for rendering BaRS Payload.

    In the BaRS UEC Applications the level of consent is stipulated to be for 'Direct Care' only. A referral must contain a Consent resource and it must adhere to the example provided under the BaRS FHIR assets.


    Referral Payload

    Payload for requesting a referral, using Service Request

    This payload is used to transmit all the necessary information that is required for pharmacies to accept a patient referred into their service.
