Prevent type 2 opt-out code use in TPP SystmOne - detained and secure estates
Type 2 opt-out codes (CTV3 codes XaaVL / XaaVM) are no longer valid, because the national data opt-out has replaced type 2 opt-outs. You should make sure they are not being used to record patient choices on use of their data for research and planning.
Guidance published 7 March 2019
The codes have been marked as non-recommended in the SystmOne Read Code Browser. This stops them being added to a patient record directly through the browser.
However, the codes could still be used if they have been included in a template, so you must check your templates to remove these codes and prevent their use.
If a user selects an invalid code from within a template, it will be added to the patient record with no warning or pop-up.
Check templates
From the Read Code Browser, select the ‘Templates’ tab. Enter the code into the box and click Search.
The results will show any templates containing the code, which are published:
- locally (by your organisation)
- across a group that your organisation belongs to
- system-wide by TPP SystmOne and available to your organisation
Local templates containing invalid codes
If the search finds local templates, edit them using the New Template Maintenance option to remove the invalid codes.
Other templates containing invalid codes
If the search finds templates published by another organisation, contact the template owner to remove the invalid codes.
Check other data entry tools
If your service uses other data entry tools, such as Automatic Consultations or Protocols, you should check these for use of the invalid codes.
