EBSX reports

Extracts are data files that can be can be downloaded from the e-Referral Service application. After being downloaded, extracts can be unzipped and imported into data analysis software.

We recommend you use a suitable application to open and analyse the reports, such as a relational database (for example, MS Access), as this will simplify creating the relationships between extracts. Excel spreadsheets may not be able to handle the amount of data in a report.

The supporting files below provide information on the extracts available and how to gain meaningful information. Included is a high level coding document to support information analysts in obtaining Advice and Guidance data required for the NHS e-Referral Service CQUIN (Commissioning for Quality and Innovation) learning modules

Translating extracts

Our translating extracts instructions shows how to decode extract information to make it more meaningful. This is done using a VLOOKUP function within MS Excel. In this example, we're using the EBSX05, generally known as the Directory of Services (DoS) extract, but the same principles would apply to any of the extracts in the system.

Extracting advice and guidance information

Our extracting Advice and Guidance (A&G) information is aimed at information analysts and covers instructions and coding to extract A&G data from the EBSX02.

From March 2018 users with the Information Analyst role will have the ability to request information instantly from the NHS e-Referral Service. This function will initially be enabled to extract data relating to Advice and Guidance requests.

Find out more in this advice and guidance enhanced reporting information.

Information can also be accessed from the system help function(N3 connection is required).
