The MIG project enables GPs to see information recorded by the community teams about a patient, and for community staff to see information recorded by the GPs without having to log onto another system or to search for the patient in another system.
Who Uses MIG?
Information will be available between the following organisations within Hampshire:
- GP surgery
- Mental Health
- Children’s Services
- Older People’s Mental Health Inpatients
- Older Person’s Mental Health Community
- Adult Nursing and Therapies
Who can see my Information on MIG?
Of the above, all patients will have a GP record, but not all patients will have one of the other records. The GP record will only be visible to the other service if the other service has a record of their own. Staff will only be able to access MIG with your consent, and access will be audited.
What can I do if I don’t want my record shared?
If you don’t want to have your information shared, please contact the surgery and let us know.
Case Study
