F1 Doctor

Trigger: Placement grade = F1

  • Hide Doctor

Hidden Tab only - Y

Doctor appear in All Doctors Tab?
Do we really need the All doctor tab? To ask Users again
Don’t need it

All tab logic is complex to implement, we want to suggest Post MVP is required.

F1 Drs to be hidden (as happens with F1 Drs from TIS)

Question - do Reval Admins want to manually hide?

Parked pending further investigation

https://hee-tis.atlassian.net/browse/TIS21-4154

Military Doctor

Trigger: Programme membership type = Military

  • Hide Doctor

Hidden Tab only Y

Doctor appear in All Doctors Tab?

How many (clustered) military Drs are there?

Do we get these Drs via GMC? If so, needs to go to discrepancies and the manually assigned ID

Are they associated with a Designated Body? Yes - always will be the Defence Deanery (not in the current list of Designated Bodies) - implies hidden automatically - check with Reval Admins

Auto hidden (to confirm with Reval Admins)

Done

Update made via GMC Connect

Doctor is Connected to a DBC (Add connection)

Should these update be reflected within TIS-Revalidation-Connection Discrepancies within 24 hours?

  • Add to Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue)?

  • Visible to Local Office associated with the connected designated body only

If doctor current connection is NO:

  • Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue)?

  • Current Connections tab (Connections)?

Doctor appear in All Doctors Tab? No

This is overnight sync

  • Discussed on 17/04/2023: we don’t care about the doctors' actions via GMC Connect. For Discrepancies, we should only check if the current DBC matches TCS DBC.

DBC removed/remove connection

They should be added to a designated body if they have a programme membership and today is within the start/end date;
Trigger: current programme membership + no designated body linked

Both must be true in relation to programme membership in this scenario

  • start date = today or older than today

  • end date = tomorrow and all future dates

  • Add to Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue) to be able to add/remove connection

  • When change is made, send to GMC and notify doctor. How? Nothing to do from our end - Admin will contact doctor

  • Visible to Local Office associated with the connected designated body only

If doctor current connection is YES

  • Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue)?

  • Current Connections tab (Connections)?

If a doctor/Admin mistakenly remove DBC or disconnect a doctor either from TIS- Reval or GMC Connect.

Done

DBC not matching for both TIS and GMC

If GMC Connect updates a connection, but it clashes with TIS DBC, should this update be reflected within TIS-Revalidation-Connection Discrepancies within 24 hours?

<<Current connection according to GMC>>

If doctor current connection is YES

  • Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue)?

  • Current Connections tab (Connections)?

 

Done

Programme membership not matching

If GMC Connect updates a connection, but it clashes with TIS programme membership detail, should this update be reflected within TIS-Revalidation-Connection Discrepancies within 24 hours

 

If doctor current connection is YES

  • Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue)?

  • Current Connections tab (Connections)?

 

Done

GMC number not matching

If GMC Connect updates a connection, but it clashes with TIS GMC Number, should this update be reflected within TIS-Revalidation-Connection Discrepancies within 24 hours

 

If doctor current connection is YES

  • Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue)?

  • Current Connections tab (Connections)?

GMC never changes.

? Assumption that a changed GMC No on TIS will lead to that doctor being “unmatched” - thus move doc to discrepancy.

Take out of MVP

 

Not required

No GMC number in TIS

GMC send a GMC number for a doctor who had no GMC number in TIS

 

  • Add to Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue) to be able to add/remove connection

  • Visible to Local Office associated with the connected designated body only

If doctor current connection is YES

  • Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue)?

  • Current Connections tab (Connections)?

This also should cover if GMC Number is removed in error. No GMC number in TIS but GMC number in GMC

Is it possible to have a doctor without GMC number in GMC? If yes, should we also send to discrepancies?

? Assumption that if NO GMC No on TIS will lead to that doctor being “unmatched” - thus move doc to discrepancy (how can users tell what the specific discrepancy is?!?!).

? How is GMC recorded when unknown or null.

Perceived edge case

  • GMC number - standards (James)

Not required

>> last refreshed
>> if failure then does it re-try and awareness.
>> mid-work infrastructure failure - how to deal with.

INACTIVE Doctors in TIS

 

 

If doctor current connection is YES

  • Discrepancies Tab (Exception Queue)?

  • Current Connections tab (Connections)?

>> Could be inactive “in error”, or issue with programme membership.

>> Only inactive who are connected

is not required, because the trainingstatus in TCS is totally populated from current programme membership and we only export current programme membership from tcs to Reval.

Sanity check data on Prod

 

Been a long time since working on this - would be useful to double check (perhaps with Phil Skeldon)?

If “Yes”, it’s MVP - one LO to process it and the other to ignore it

How do the LOs know when Drs are in Joint Programmes Dual Curriculums?
