We want to create an automated integration to download and store any referrals attributed to the hospital so that they can be triaged offline. I would have thought that access to A008 using application restricted access would be possible but I find that its not. Is this a ‘missing’ requirement for A008, are their plans to include it?

Hi Ian -

Worklists in e-RS are a “to-do” list and were designed to be fetched by a user, hence the restriction. Application-restricted access allows access to referrals across a whole organisation (Trust/ODS code) which poses performance problems for the service if worklists are especially large.

We are looking to open the A008 endpoint, with some restrictions:

Feel free to vote/comment on the feature above with your specific use case, including volumes.

Thanks,
