Where there is more than one provider in the practice, patients will be assigned to a particular provider based on which provider they were most frequently seen by in recent consultations. Providers that are active will be given priority over providers that have been made inactive.
Patients will be assigned to the provider who saw them for the highest number of consultations in the previous 18 months.
Where there is no consultation recorded in the previous 18 months, the patient will be assigned to the provider who saw them most recently, up to 5 years ago.
Where there is no consultation recorded in the previous 5 years, no provider will be assigned.
Where a patient has seen more than one provider then the active provider with the most consultations will be assigned. Where no active provider has been seen then an inactive provider, if seen, will be assigned.
