GP Patient Survey Software Installation Guide Mouse-click your way through step-by-step instructions The GP Patient Survey (GPPS) report will enable data to be extracted from GP Clinical Systems utilising Apollo Medical Systems Limited software so that surveys can be sent to patients asking their experience of access to general practitioners.

Important Notice! Running the report After installing the software and indicating participation, there is nothing else you should need to do. The Apollo software is designed to be fully automated and will perform the necessary data extraction and will transmit this data to the central repository. Extracting the data and transmission to the central repository will typically happen on a Sunday or during the night so as not to disrupt normal operations of the clinical system. IF YOU USE A CLINICAL SYSTEM OTHER THAN EMIS, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE SELECTED WORKSTATION CHOSEN BY THE PRACTICE TO DOWNLOAD THE APOLLO SOFTWARE IS LEFT SWITCHED ON AND LOGGED IN. IF THE WORKSTATION IS SWITCHED OFF THE DATA EXTRACT AND TRANSMISSION TO THE CENTRAL REPOSITORY WILL NOT BE COMPLETED. A password protected screensaver should be used on the selected workstation to restrict access to the PC.
