Documentation
Description:
The Welsh Results Reporting Service (WRRS) allows health care professionals (HCPs) across Wales to access, enter, and view laboratory results for pathology requests and any other associated results across all health boards in Wales, from both primary and secondary care, regardless of where they were requested, tested or provided. WRRS aims to save time, reduce test duplication, and improve patient safety.
The Welsh Clinical Portal (WCP) is a digital patient record across NHS Wales, which is available to all HCPs with appropriate permissions in relevant organisations. The WCP makes available patient information from several sources with a single log-on. The WCP gives clinicians pathology results (e.g. blood tests) for patients wherever they had their test taken, meaning patients can utilise mobile units or local centres rather than having to travel far.

Access Request Cost:
Data provision is free from SAIL. Overall project costing depends on the number
of people that require access to the SAIL Gateway, the activities that SAIL
needs to complete (e.g. loading non-standard datasets), data refreshes,
analytical work required, disclosure control process, and special case
technological requirements.

The Welsh Results Reports Service, gives clinicians blood results for patients, no matter where they had their blood taken. So rather than travelling to have blood tests, patients can go to mobile units, or local centres, and clinicians can see results.
