EoE Liver Surveillance Upload Guidance

The Data Upload comprises two stages:

1. Populating the standardised spreadsheet

2. Uploading this file to the central portal

Stage 1 - Populating the Spreadsheet

1. The spreadsheet has nine headers. The three encircled columns (*) show the minimum information required for successful upload:

  • NHS Number*

  • Date of Birth*

  • Date of Latest Liver Scan*

2. Based on your capacity and the information available, the columns titled ‘Referral Source,’ ‘Clinical Indication,’ and ‘Liver Scan Result Status’ can be populated using the drop-down menus:

IMPORTANT ADVICE

  • Please don’t change anything in rows 1 and 2 of the spreadsheet. These rows help our system understand the data, and making changes could cause some patient records to be missed during the upload.

    Ensure each NHS number includes all ten digits.

  • Before uploading, please double-check that you’ve selected the correct file and that all required data has been entered in each row.

  • This is an interactive process, so you are welcome to upload your initial

    patient numbers and then continue adding to the spreadsheet as you compile

    your register. The system will automatically update with each new version of

    the spreadsheet you upload.

Stage 2 - Uploading the Spreadsheet to the Portal

Whilst connected to the secure HSCN network:
