Caching period for Reasonable Adjustments Flag

Key events for the retrieval of reasonable adjustment include:
o Patient record retrieval
o Appointment booking
o Processing / recording incoming referrals
o Generating / sending communications (e.g. letters, SMS
messages, emails) to a patient

Can suppliers implement a ‘caching’ period where if a query has been performed in, for example, the last 24hrs, a subsequent query is not required.

We received a response from the NHS on this that the caching period should be “the continuous period during which one authenticated user interacts with the application from login until logout, timeout, or termination”.

Hope that helps,
