The objective of the project is to move towards a paperless transaction base between GP Practices and health applications by replacing Registration and Items of Service (IOS) forms with electronic transactions transmitted via a communications network (NHSNET).

This is to be achieved by:

• Receiving Registration details from GP Practices and providing the means for automatic update of the HA patient database.
• Transmitting to GP Practices the details of Registration changes made on the HA patient database to allow the same patient details to be updated onto the Practice's patient database.
• Receiving IOS claims from GP Practices and providing the facility to both automatically validate and update the the HA General Medical Services Quarterly Payment (GMSQP) system with those claims which are eligible for payment.
• Transmitting electronic GP statements to GP Practices.
