Some functionality within the UKRDC, such as sending a record to PKB, is controlled by membership records. A membership record is a distinct patient record within the UKRDC which contains special program membership data, linked to data feeds for a particular patient.
It typically indicates a patient's consent to have their data sent on to another programme or organisation.
The presence of a membership record linked a particular patient will enable functionality like PKB data sending†.
Creating a new membership record
To create a new membership for a patient, first find their record within the UKRDC, then within the list of Patient Records, click the “Add Memberships” button within the “Membership Records” section.
If a membership record does not yet exist for the patient, you will have the option to create a new one.
Initial data sending
By default, only data received after creating a membership record will be sent to PKB. In order for the patient to see their full record, you should sync the data after creating a membership.
To do this, click the “Sync to PKB” button in the Data Feeds section of the interface.
Footnotes
† While a PKB membership record is required to enable data sending for a patient, is it not sufficient. The patient's renal unit must also have PKB sending enabled at the unit-level.
