The NHS CRS would then be in two parts: a centrally stored summary care record (SCR) drawing principally from primary care and containing basic clinical information for emergencies [ 36, 37], and a locally held and shared detailed care record (DCR).
The resulting NHS Care Records Service is thus in two parts 7 a centrally stored summary care record containing basic clinical information for emergencies (which has been separately evaluated 8 9) and a locally held and shared detailed electronic health record.
The summary care record (SCR) is a centrally stored summary of key medical details that is created from a person's existing NHS record (currently, the detailed record held by their general practitioner) and made available to NHS staff in emergency and unscheduled care situations (emergency departments, general practitioner out of hours clinics, and walk-in centres).
Through an advanced account they can gain secure access to their summary care record (a nationally stored summary of their medical details drawn from the general practitioner record 23), book outpatient appointments, and exchange email style electronic messages with their clinician using a secure link called Communicator.
Other methods are single-pass, storing summaries of past data as they are scanned [25].
Under the design of TMT infrastructure, the functionalities of our USB-PHR were to provide interoperability within healthcare providers, to store summaries of health information, to maintain patients' current medications, and to keep track of known adverse reactions and known allergies.
To increase performance, ClinVar and Gene Ontology are stored as summary representations of the full releases.
To take just one example, do we summarize our knowledge about a category (e.g., birds) by storing in memory a summary prototype (a depiction of the average bird), or do we instead store all the category exemplars that we experience?
All samples were stored to calculate summary statistics.
