Docman is an electronic document management system and is used by general practices across Scotland. It was integral in the move to paper light practice and provides a workflow functionality, as well as rapid transfer of discharge and clinic letters and results from hospitals via the Docman hub and electronic document transfer (EDT). Using electronic document interchange between practices, the GP2GP process has been developed to transfer patient records rapidly when they change GP practices.
We hear from Sharon Wishart, who is the lead facilitator at the Primary Care Mentor team in Fife, and we discussed her experiences with Docman  over the years, as well as dealing with a recent national problem with mysteriously disappearing documents. We also have highlights from a workshop on Docman 10 at the recent SNUG Members' Day given by Sean Foster, Philp Austin and Lesley Thorpe from the supplier company, OneAdvanced, when they outlined some of the benefits of Docman 10 over Docman 7. Docman 7 relies on local servers, but Docman 10 is run on a web browser as the data is stored in the cloud. Backups and updates will be handled in the data Centre, no down time is needed by practices and speed will be consistently better even at branch sites. Remote working will be easier, and also federated working.
SNUG members asked the team questions regarding coding of documents, system speed, SCI Gateway integration, timescale for rollout, direct printing to Docman, joint folders, updating the National folder structure, and emailing documents from Docman.
